I attended pre-COVID so your depiction of the current situation is more accurate. That's too bad 😕

Yeah. School used to have the highest amount of Ivy League teachers outside of the Ivy Leagues themselves only a few years ago. School genuinely had a lot going for it, but IMO is an abysmal place now and absolutely not worth it. Extra debt at another school would be worth it when you consider that you aren't going to do any networking whatsoever at UMB, and I'm literally being taught stuff that I learned in the eighth grade, so you're not really learning anything of value either.

When I talk to people who used to teach and attend UMB they seem really surprised. Most of the good teachers and faculty that made that good experience have left (and also in some cases pushed out).
