Question
CNU is really gay.Not so brightBiology
CNU is really gay. They are way to strict with this honor code thing, and it really doesnt allow you to have any fun. Oh yea, and dont try to get around the system by knowing people, because apparently that is against the honor code. Just because i was an underclassman, it was pretty much illegal to them for me and a couple underclassmen friends to room with a 5th year senior, they saw that as the 5th year senior trying to get underclassmen where they dont belong, but wait isnt this supposed to be a university of unity, so why do we not belong in the particular housing, why the hell do they care, theyre getting my money, and thats all this college seems to worried about, so it should be fine. oh yea and the housing director, hes a douche. Campus police, are rent-a-cops on power trips, they need to calm down a little. Academics are good, but the university itself was way below par. Definetly use this university as a last resort if you have to. Go to other bigger college first if you can, you can always downgrade to CNU, its harder to upgrade.

Question
I really don't know what I was thinkingBright
I really don't know what I was thinking coming to CNU. From the beginning I saw that basically all my values beliefs would have to be withheld to fit in at CNU. This University attracts predominately right wing republicans many of which are to scared to listen to a person of a different race or religion speak their truth. In fact as soon as a person is labeled as weird they are basically ostracized from other students. All in all CNU isn't a bad school, but since I live by the motto Unity in Diversity this is not the school for me.
