No seriously, when I went to school here, rape on campus could be punished with a "verbal warning". There is no functional career services office. there is no student health organization, only a school nurse. Maintenance does not show up to fix anything ever. There is no functional security at this school, the school PD has no guns, no mace, and no tazers, they can't even write a traffic ticket, and when I went to school here, the state PD was not allowed on campus by the administration. When I went to school here, the dining halls were failing health inspection. Let me repeat, do not go to school here! it will be the worst mistake of your life.

But there are always things to do that our Activities Board puts on (movie nights, video/board games, bingo, karaoke, etc.). Plus there are always lots of sports games and parties (if that's what you want. If not, there is still lots you can do). The town has great restaurants, a movie theater (plus a cheapie theater), and all the shopping stores.

The work is hard, but it can be done. There can be a lot but since you have to live on campus, it's easy to access the library and talk to teachers. It's a great education and a top school for studying abroad.

IT support is bad, and damage is not repaired in a timely manner.

However, the professors I've had (except for one chemistry professor) have been amazing; they are fun, easy to approach, knowledgeable about their subjects, and interested in helping you. In fact, I've had lunch with several professors just to get to know them better.

Also, it's nice having small classes. I've only had three classes over 40 students, and I've had just as many classes with fewer than 10 students.

If you like small classes and getting to know your professors, and you like fairly lax rules on student life (as far as drinking and having men/women over go), and you can deal with internet problems and buildings in less-than-ideal condition, then you might want to look at AC.
