Worst school ever, transferred out and all my problems went away. The people are horrible and it was clickier than high school. I was in greek life and the school hated all greek life. They tried to get all kicked off their own campus... If you want a southern school this is not it, all people here are from the North.

Absolutely no parking and no one higher up cares about it even though they know its an issue. Teachers jerk you around with power trips and violate FERPA. I overall felt disrespected here as someone paying tuition for an education, I had to constantly rope the dean into discussions with professors who were out of line and had to fight for my grade
