Butler commits itself to being a "community that cares" however this is far from the truth. Being a current student on campus I have come to realize that if you aren't in Greek life or athletics then no one on the campus cares. You are ostracized from social events and even clubs. I wouldn't have came to this school if I knew that Greek life either made or broke your social life. The advisors for the most part are unorganized and don't care about their students. The professors like at any other school could be great or terrible it just depends. Construction is always a factor and parking is far from most of the residential buildings. The food options besides scottys are all terrible. One of the few good things about the school is the basketball but the student sections aren't that energetic. Hopefully if everything works out I'll be able to transfer schools this next year. I knew coming in that most colleges are liberal but this school takes it to an extreme and if your viewpoints are different from everyone else's then you get targeted by almost everyone in class when having class discussions. Almost every college has drinking and I understand wanting to keep kids safe but the BUPD on campus are getting kids in trouble for minor drinking violations that on almost any other campus would not be a factor. I advise you to not go to this school unless you know for a fact that you'll be interested in Greek life, extremely liberal beliefs, and boring parties/strict campus police.
I ended up getting my Bachelor's Degree in the end, but I also left with PTSD and a severe distrust of educational institutions. This college is better suited for students without special needs and, unfortunately, I had to find that out the hard way.
My academic advisers were just as cavalier - I think that they were more concerned with their personal research than anything else. Around the time that I graduated, Butler's motto was that it was a "community of care" - and this atmosphere is the exact opposite of what I experienced.
It sounds like Butler is just taking kid's money. What career would that class prepare you for? That's right, fast food. Butler isn't doing any favors to their students. I will no longer be supporting or donating my money here.
People are getting so mad over this years graduating class dedicating itself to resisting the president. This seems like a good thing to me, shows that they aren't afraid to step out of the norm, especially in the state of Indiana. Should be proud of this class for using the opportunity to speak their minds.
Most of my professors just thought I was lazy or that I wasn't trying hard enough but I don't think that they would've accepted the truth even if I told them. If I struggled in class, then the default responses that I got were "go to the Learning Resource Center" or "get tutoring."
Disagreeing with a President is completely justified, but an entire class dedicating to resisting a President?
As an autistic student, I found the residential facilities on this campus to be extremely disruptive and not conducive to my education. My grades went down considerably over the four years that I lived on campus and, as a result, I ended up graduating two years late.
Great students. Great professors. Administration is awful. The campus has shifted to a focus that is no longer putting students first. Very sad to see where my former university is headed. Completely unrecognizable from when i was there. Class of 2014 graduate, currently being harassed by Credit World Services as i finish paying my tuition.
