1)Beautiful campus, great diversity of students.

2) A lot of rich, snotty people.

3) You need a car.

4) Financial aid office people are very rude and unsympathetic. I had trouble paying for my Spring semester, in which I started, because my Plus loan was denied. I felt threatened by them (financial aid); they were unhelpful. They made me feel unworthy of their time and university because I come from a poor family and was having a hard time financially.

5) I consider myself hippie-geeky-new age-left wing like, and I had difficulty making friends. As you walk around campus looking at the people, seeing who seems interesting… no one had blue hair, I saw only 2 goth people, everyone else was beautiful, wearing designer clothes and very unapproachable.

6) Last thing. I seemed to be the only one who would actually wear t-shirts to class.

I attended Spring 2000 and did not return because of financial difficulty and disappointment with the university.
