As a freshman class of 2015, I expected more out of this school. As a minority I understood that this school was not diverse, but during the tours I went on I did not understand to what extent this school is not diverse. The school is trying dont get me wrong but Im so tired of defending myself and trying to prove that I belong her. Im so tired of being the only minority. Dont get me started on the whole DWC. The school during tours forgets to tell you how hard and intense the Civ program is. Lets not forget how during my year of Civ they never once mention a black person that has helped the Catholic religion. Partials at this school sucks but at the same time you can bend the rules... trust me I lived in McVinney & I had guys come through & stay the night. :) But the fact that guys dorms dont have paritals sucks and isnt fair. The political science classes are either hard.. or really easy.. So it kind of messes with you. This school is also very very closed minded and isnt open to others at all, despite what they say. Im transferring so Im happy that Im leaving. If you want school where everyone looks the same, come here. If you want a school where you can be yourself go someone where else.

Advice about this school: do not consider it if you are a serious student. It is the biggest joke I have ever witnessed and deserves to be closed as an institution. The worst four years of my life.

Well, let me start out with that I've made many great friends at Providence. But my time here wasn't always great. My freshman year I had 2 roommates and the room was a little cramped, but I did have a good time anyway. My sophomore year was a lot different, I got an apartment, which was lucky for being a sophomore, and I lived with 3 other girls. I suffered from serious depression and anorexia sophomore year becauseI felt like I did not fit in. The girls were very snobby and wealthy (I mean, owning their own private jet rich), and I felt as though I did not belong. My junior year got better though. I would not come here if I had to choose again. It's really not worth the money. All this school is is a school filled with rich, snobby kids that are all the same and preppy. There are many nice people, but they are definitely all upper-class and have hardly worked a day in their life. The academics are okay, but I wouldn't say the staff is the most helpful.And if you don't drink, do not come here. It will be very hard to fit in. I like to have a good time a few days a week and so does everyone else, there's limited people who don't drink.
