Thanks!
If there's one thing I learned about Akron when I was there - it's that a lot of people get in, but only the best get out. It provides an opportunity for a lot of people to get higher education, but I'd put my classmates up against most anyone that just graduated. It's a top engineering school, top 100 business school (out of 1000+ even though it's easy and generic) and a whole heck of a lot else going on and improving. Can't can sit by and hope their reputation from the 70's van get them by, but I'm proud of my alma mater.
