Im a student athlte, and a football player. At home, everyone thought I was really cool and kind of a badass. But here, I'm just like everybody else. The parties here are so sick and killer. i tend to get lit and crunk. This place is so Nelk.

Very unorganized nursing department! Poor reputation within the community! Not worth the money!!

Most of what they tell you at orientation you'll find out later isn't true. The only good thing was the trimester thing which they are switching. Very oppressive (cathloc) and most people that go here are dumb jocks.

Campus is very dull and boring, nothing goes on. Housing (freshman housing especially) is absolutely awful. A ton of hidden fees, and if you're looking to transfer, make sure your classes will follow you. They try to throw you in a bunch of classes that won't transfer so you have no option but to stay. Be careful and make your own schedule.

If you are thinking about going here, DON'T. They will sa anything to get you to come but once you are here you will hate it! Their policies suck and do not protect the students. If you have an issue with a teacher, tough. Cause they will not help you whatsoever. There are some amazing teachers here but there are some horrific ones too.7

Most professors are awesome. It's a small campus so you have opportunity to get to know them and connect. Dorm facilities and cafetería are awful. Really. They will overcharge you a lot of basic facilities you won't recieve or that lack quality. Art and psych departments are good. Too much emphasis on sports, not enough spent on dorms. Good luck.
