Even though Covid-19 started my freshmen year so I had a limited "college life" experience, the professors were very well prepared and passionate about making it a great place and made it very easy to adapt to a hybrid environment. The student center was very nice and always had events like pool, ping pong, food, snacks, raffles, etc. that made commuter students feel very welcome.

The culture on campus was amazing and very diverse and the amount of clubs were very positive and numerous. The band program was really enjoyable, as were the dances and various other optional activities. They also have a great amount of scholarships that they offer.
