Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Freshman

Though I have only been here a semester I can say that my experience here is 50/50. The school environment and activities are perfectly fine if not the best part of attending this school. This school is very expensive and there can be a lot of hidden fees that you may not be aware of until an approaching deadline. Even with scholarships and grants applied this school can still be overwhelmingly expensive and it will take away from your fun experience here. Also you must worry if you are going to have housing once you have completed your freshman year. That is also stressful because each year the university tends to accept even more students than it did the previous year causing upperclassman to have to move off campus. I don't think that's fair considering not everyone will have the resources or can afford to live off campus. This is something that should be looked at and solved immediately.
