I am currently a freshman and this school lives up to the rep. It is very welcoming and everyone on campus is very nice and helpful. Make sure to get the good professors and I don't recommend 8ams.

I love it here! I've loved all my teachers and I know the departments are invested in their students. There are fun activities and clubs, and everyone I've met is super nice. The campus is beautiful and walkable, and I like the food options. There's Greek life and sports if you want it, but I don't feel left out at all not participating in them.
