I followed a couple of good professor through several classes. The Capstones are a good idea on paper but very poorly executed. Students are protestors and radicals to the extreme so if you are conservative or middle of the road you might be uncomfortable here

I had to apply three times, with 2 terms tanked 40 years ago. Whats hername finally admitted me after it dawned on her that I would NEVER BE ABLE TO RAISE GPA HIGH ENOUGH TO BE ADMITTED. At 58 I was a ABC student around 3.15 with current grades, but I got the BIG MIDDLE FINGER FROM PSU.
