I came here not knowing anyone and met some of my best friends for life. The social aspect is great and downtown life is so fun. School is easy as long as your willing to work, you get out what you put in. Getting involved is definitely worth it!

As a Freshman, I thoroughly enjoyed living in the dorms and I love living off campus now! Great social life if you love going out or not, plenty of academic variety when it comes to clubs and solid professors. Very easy to find great opportunities such as research positions, internships, or jobs at the hospital.

It is very hard to make friends here if you live off of campus. I feel very lonely here and keep to myself. The school won't shut down racist clubs and groups as well as fraternities that assault women. Barbara Wilson only cares about the money and not the safety of the students. Don't walk alone at night. Oh, and they support Isreal ??
