Campus is not the best. Grass always going to be cut. The people and students are want makes college better. Not a super safe campus. I dropped from school and are still making me pay a fee for the classes I dropped, I do not recommend attending here if you plan on transferring out.

School could use a lot of remodelling and money for improvements. The people are great and teachers are friendly, but the atmosphere is just slow.

yes I do because , when I visited this school it seemed so perfect . now that im here living on this campus I hate it. Its seems like a high school. Some of the professors are terrible teachers and many of them do not try to help you. Im really regretting coming here. Then there is nothing useful to major in.

The school has so much potential but they can't seem to ever do anything with it
