The crowd is horrible. The college can be much better.

Placements: I have not yet sat in the placements, but from what I have heard from the seniors, the placements are really average or below average, to be honest. Either the person has to work hard themselves and go for off-campus if they have any self-respect, or just slog in a switch company and suffer for the rest of their lives.
