The underground war between administration and faculty (which features the students as the inocent bystanders) can get annoying though. There are a lot of great clubs, including two new ones this year (sking and sci-fi/fantasy). You should give it a look see, but keep you BS detector running on the official tour.

It's not a dumpy school, it's a school that refuses to take into account student or faculty viewpoints, where the administration makes curricular decisions instead of the faculty, where freshmen are required to attend tons of performing arts events where attendance is taken and quality is not the issue, do hours of community service, attend uneducational saturday morning classes, do their work-study, go to regular class, made to live on campus sometimes in very tiny rooms, can't find parking, and where more than half of the students leave!
It's the whole attitude around here that the administration knows what's best, and that students and faculty opinions just don't count. So I really wouldn't recommend coming here... and oh yeah, if you're a veteran, married, or homosexual, the college reserves the right to discriminate against you. It's said that.
I'm a current student at EC who is no longer proud to have come here.
