Cooper is in a great location for food and activities but internet is very slow sometimes.
There's not much of a campus but you get to know your classmates well in this small school. Engineering classes in your last two years focus mostly on group assignments and projects instead of exams. It is a collaborative rather than competitive atmosphere.

The only thing good about the school is its reputation. Professors cannot teach after 20 years of experience. They constantly complain about the lack of funding. The school has a lack of community as students are constantly struggling with the classwork. The school makes students feel unmotivated and not interested in life.
