I transferred here from community college. I absolutely love Pfeiffer. My department is amazing, my professors are supportive, and I feel like I have genuinely been able to bond with my professors on a deeper level. I feel respected and valued as a student here. I could not imagine attending any other university.

It doesn't bother me that it is that boring because I came here for lacrosse and have enough fun to get by. The problem is that there is more potential for this school overall and it doesn't feel like you get what you are paying for.
Overall 1.7
The professors are helpful when they want to be but over all they definitely have their favorites. Try and get close with them or you're not going to pass. Also if you're wanting to go out and have a fun time with your friends on the weekend, unless you want to drive a distance, you might as well just get drunk with all the international students.
