The opportunities here are super nice I got an REU internship my sophomore year, I'm able to use all of the chemistry instrumentation without being constantly shadowed and my research project is going very well.

It is not your typical university. That being said, it's still a great school. With only one building and 2 housing buildings it's a very simple layout. The professors are very passionate about what they do. They are still growing and still learning about some issues, but great progress is being made.

The school is underdeveloped. Maybe in a few years, it will be amazing, but it's still in its baby stages.

I made a mistake coming here. Not what is sold on the in all admissions literature.
Overall 1.5
This University will say that they have opportunities but do not offer any. The amount of things they "have" are things that are not actually given. There is no food on campus you will have to use the city as your food. THe safety is a 0 if I can give one.
Overall 1.8
Don't go here unless you want to pay to teach yourself everything. The professors don't explain anything and expect you to know everything. I am so happy to be finally graduated because I haven't been happy since I've started going here.
