My first impression of the new site is that it looks really good! the contrast and size of lettering of titles makes it soo much easier to find things. they also have a bunch of tools that would have been handy, like knowing how much everything cost!

Nice. I like what they did with the little arch-way. (When you see it, brain = explosion).

All it needs is a place where incoming first-year Eng students can ask what kind of laptop they should get.

What's the use? In the end, all of them will have to use the butt-ugly slow ass MUGSI and Avenue.
@Chad, if you made that, the div footerInfo should be a bit lower to line up with the horizontal line

Sure, they don't mind revamping a prospective student website... but when it comes to MUGSI and taking care of ones who are actually paying...

it brings them more enrollment, therefore more funding and more students paying tuition.
it's all about creating a good image to attract innocent prey prospective students. once you're in, you're stuck.

It looks pretty good. Glad to see they're using our money to revamp their website for people who might not even attend.
EDIT: I love how the cost calculator TOTALLY glosses over the fees for International students. Either there's a glitch, or it's ALL hidden charges ($10000 of them).
