The smaller campus lets you be involved in multiple areas and allows you to be known by name by your professors.

UAM doesn't have an all around awesome rep, but it is a WONDERFUL school for Agri, Education, and Nursing!
Bad reviews

The staff are super rude, insensitive, unhelpful. The financial aid office I swear has a goal to make students cry every year. The only thing decent about the whole campus is the Starbucks and Chick-fil-A but you cant use gift cards at them and they are very expensive, and the one or two good professors you run into. I would rate this campus 1/10.

This school was a decent school to get a good education. However, they have opened the flood gates and will let anyone in. My senior year, marijuana was found growing in several different places on campus, drugs and crime are out of control here. The majority of the students are there to party and not to get an education. This hurt the reputation.
