Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

My overall experience hasn’t been bad, it’s been pretty well. The main thing I’d say is there is not alot to do on this campus so it can get pretty boring. Other than that it really isn’t bad besides the fact the college is really expensive and hard to pay for. The people is great, professors, athletes, students, atmosphere, everything is good about this college and its campus.
