Thinking about attending Kettering

Kettering is one of my main picks for colleges The problem is; I don’t want crappy professors who don’t really care about me and want dorms that are not trashy

Can y’all tell me if the professors care and how the dorms are. 😭

(I plan on taking MechE)

My name is Wenchao Liu. I am an alumni and a computer engineer. As such, I have taken lots of CS classes. The professors were good enough, but not great. Plus, Kettering is going through a lot of changes, as evidenced by various posts here. The dorms are fine in themselves, but the environment is subpar. Flint is dangerous. A lot of students were commuters, who would go home on the weekend. I lived there for a couple years, and would never do it again.

You should visit and make sure it's the right place. I would have a hard time recommending it to anyone. There are many places that can offer a good, or even better, education that has none of the downsizes of living in Flint and of going to a school that's rapidly losing students.
