Great school for engineering.
Overall 5
Absolutely loved my experience here! MSOE is one of the top schools in the area, and is filled with tons of great people and opportunities. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to pursue engineering!!
Overall 4.6
Non-traditional veteran student here. I am not involved in the on-campus stuff, but the school is amazing. The professors are top-notch and they are so helpful. The quarter schedule can be brutal at times, but it feels really great when you get through them! 10 weeks of class is fast-paced, but youre done that much faster. Lots of opportunities.

This school is TOUGH, but it gives you all the tools needed to succeed! I am a non-traditional student veteran, and I love it here. I have found the teachers at this school are amazing at making the difficult concepts easier to learn than I ever expected. MSOE is near the Third Ward (cool downtown spot) and has a great reputation overall. 10/10 !

The library is pathetic, the food is awful, the internet in the CC never works.
Overall 1.9
not a good school for struggling students, they don't have time to help you. you are on your own. the only good thing about this school is its reputation. why does this school have a good reputation? it was a waste of time and money for me to go here.
Overall 2
The only reason I still here is because I love engineering.
