Despite the seemingly dullAverageComputer Science
Despite the seemingly dull social experience at this school, its good. There are some intership oportunities here that are very good, compared to other schools. I got an intership throught the school, I make $16hr. Its enought to pay for school while I go and have money for beer and food.

Question
CNU gives their students a chance to succeedBrightBiology
CNU gives their students a chance to succeed and it is extremely possible to attain a decent GPA. Some teachers are better than others, but the professors are good overall. People at CNU are very friendly. It is hard to get around w/ out a car, so making friends with upperclassmen is only a bonus. Social life is decent, just be careful not to drink on campus because CNU is a dry campus and is very strict about the Honor Code. If you like to party, it does go on at CNU but you need to have connections at times. When Trible leaves, and CNU becomes a wet campus, CNU will become a much more enjoyable place.

Question
THis school is a high school with ashtrays.Quite BrightComputer Science
THis school is a high school with ashtrays. I have wasted 2 1/2 years of my life at this shit hole. No matter what is said about this school, the majority of the school is made up of closeminded christians. Administration does not work for you, they lose your stuff constantly and just don't care. Fraternities are nowhere near as fun as they should be (thanks to CNU administration), and the ones tthat attempt to be good are just squashed by the administration. YOu will have to show ID whenever you want to enter a building, if you even smell of alcohol you are written up and punished. there is no night life unless you know the right people, kind of like my high school parties. the internet has not worked properly for more then an hour at a time, and the food makes you crap 20 minutes after you eat it. im only here becasue i could nto afford another school. save your self the time and money,, do not go to this school.
