Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

it’s very close nit. it feels homey. It’s like a space I enjoy being in. it’s very comforting. Everybody wants to talk. I really love that the school wants us to be involved.

Alumni

As an alumn every year I was at the university things got progressively worse between great faculty and staff leaving due to low pay and the university bringing in unfit individuals to replace them. Housing was a plus but like everything when it broke they were cheap and barely fixed it causing more trouble.

Alumni

I am close with several professors and they have confirmed what I am seeing. I thought the previous president was bad, but the current one is much worse. If I was in my first or second year, I would transfer, but at this point, I am stuck as I would lose too many credits if I transfer now.

Alumni

I wish I researched this University before enrolling. This University needs leadership and needs it now.

Current Student
