SRU was were I completed my undergrad degree. I fell in love with this school in 2014 and knew this is where I wanted to go. I loved my social life at this school, and all the opportunities they had for students. I was in a few clubs and organizations through out my 4 years. I loved it so much that I came back to go to Grad School for my Masters!!!

Lemme go more into detail.. The town of SRU is good. The food is good, especially Quaker Steak, Rocky's, and this little taco place off campus called Compadres.(However they are down one waffle maker because I broke it) There's one club that is amazing and I suggest joining it. It's the Republicans club. All the members are nice. JOIN IT!

I absolutely hate this campus. There's nothing to do, I've had 2 professors who are decent, none of them speak English, the food is terrible, and it's basically a frozen wasteland

If you're a commuting transfer student, good luck making friends. People within majors are very cliquey, rude, and unwelcoming. Professors take a while to email back and when they do, they seem bothered. Parking is an actual nightmare. People aren't inclusive if you're new, not their dormy, or drinking buddy. Wish I picked a different school.

The food is completely terrible and the workers are rude. You may not get picked up by the happy bus and be late to class. Really unorganized school, as well as clubs. I recommend going here for PT and Education. Thats it.
Overall 1.9
I would do anything to go back and pick a different school. Any other school.
