If you want to come here. I think that you should really take advantage of the fact that they give you credit for APs and they fulfill some requirements which is really cool.

There's a large bureaucracy. Getting anything, not the normal routine, done can be a real pain in the ass. Some professors are good, others bad, it's a real crapshoot. The only people who really care if you succeed and are helpful as well are the Honors Office staff. This year's freshman are better, but most people here couldn't get into Georgetown or another better school and are playing with mommy and daddy's money. Lots of fraternity and sorority types who all have to live in dorms or off campus (no greek row).

I'm actually graduating in 2007, but there was not option for that. Anyway, I love the campus, I wouldn't have been happier anywhere else (even considering Georgetown or George Washington). There are so many programs to get new students situated in their new environment. The University is very involved in the community, and you can tell the community appreciates it. The campus is also very clean. Another great thing about the school is the food, which is excellent. One drawback is it is a bit expensive, but financial aid is great.
Friendliness: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B
