The campus is beautiful, and you'll get a fantastic education, but the actual administration doesn't care about students. The teachers are wonderfully helpful and are willing to do whatever you need to get through the occasionally daunting coursework, there is a vast selection of courses in order to play to your interests, and there is no better school for the education major, as they ensure you get a great deal of experience in the classroom. If you are a good student who is willing to work hard and learn, you will find yourself satisfied here. However, student life isn't always comfortable. While most students here are polite and friendly, and everyone will find someone they get along with, a few bad apples can get in anywhere. Of course, these bad apples also appear in the administration of the school. If you need technical help, there is nobody available on weekends. If things are broken, there will be nobody there on the weekends. They also cut out early Fridays and rarely can you get a person to pick up a telephone no matter how many times you call. The food is, plainly, awful. Should you find something that tastes good, inevitably it will be bad for you and give you a terrible stomachache. The good news is, most of the dorms have kitchens equipped with microwaves, ovens and stovetops, and students can keep microwaves in their room. The bad news is that this equipment is often in poor shape, barely working, not at all trustworthy, and will never be replaced. In fact, nothing at all is ever repaired or replaced. I'm almost certain that my dorm room from last year would still have bats in the ceiling if maintenance bothered to check.Dormitories are relatively standard. They are small, crowded, occasionally bedbug infested, and have poor circulation. Most dormrooms do not have air conditioning, the heating is often ineffective. There is no weekend janitor. This is, however, probably the average for most colleges.There is construction on campus. There is always construction on campus, but only on new things, never maintenance. The construction workers do not care about the campus. They litter, make noise, and block the roads. This can cause trash to not be picked up near construction sites, as the roads are blocked and the garbage truck doesn't bother to wait for them to move. Crime is not a problem I have experienced here, and Campus Police are efficient in dealing with problems and genuinely interested in the safety of the students. However, I wouldn't believe the crime rate reports the school publicizes. Victims of crimes such as harrassment have said that they are pressured not to press charges in criminal court and deal with things internally in order to avoid having to report such incidents. Extracurricular activities are pretty great. The active clubs are interesting and exciting, and there are often concerts and shows on campus. However, the school isn't as active as it advertises, and many students do go home on weekends. Perhaps because the food is so very, very awful. You will probably go home on weekends too.Overall, if you want to have a great education from fantastic teachers, work hard and learn, this is a great school. Just be sure you're alright with the fact that the education is the only thing great about this school. The teachers might care about you, and you'll make some great friends who will care about you, but the administration doesn't. |
