a campus next to the border? are you kidding? totally not safe, staff is not very friendly, very limited parking space, not enough study rooms at the library, the nursing program is not that good either, security doesn't enforce the no smoking policy,

This school could be SO much better. Sadly, they're locked in a land battle with the other half of the university so they pass the "savings" onto the students. Parking at this school is non exsistant and overall the campus is unkemp. They tend to want to bring in the worst of the worst so you'll end up having classes with allot of idiots.
