Student reviews

Professors

Student

Take advantage of office hours and use your advisor as a resource. Use the library resources to your advantage. There is counseling and advising that is no extra charge to you.

Campus and vibes

Student

Be prepared to endure one of the greatest learning communities that you will ever step foot in!

Student

Tips I would give to prospective students are stay on top of everything. Do not fall behind, because the minute you fall behind, things get hard. Do not expect things to be easy either. Challenges come our way for a reason. With that, use any and all resources you can. As long as you have connections (which is networking), everything will be fine. And if you are ever in financial need, stay on top of scholarships; there is easy money out here. As for classes, always be on time, and pay attention! Don't expect others to keep reminding you of what to do.

Student

Apply for scholarships early! Sometimes due dates can just slip away and you miss out on the chance to earn money for your education. Financial obligations shouldn't keep you from going to any college and so I want to advise you to look for scholarships early on.
