This school is far away from everything. the food gets old quick. most activities are greek related. so much about this school is unsavory. wifi consistently goes out every storm, as does power and heat. work load is tremendous. over all D- of a school.

If you are an athlete who just wants to get by, and not necessarily learn anything, this is the place for you. Also, the campus is VERY secluded. There is nothing in walking distance, so having a car is a must.
Overall 1.6
This school has the worst financial aid I have ever had to deal with, the administration sucks and normally has no clue what they are doing. If you want to get through college and not learn anything this is the college for you, for everyone else, go to a real school and don't waste your time and money here.
