There is nothing to do on the weekends. I am a freshman who lives on campus and I do not have acess to a car, which sucks because only a third of the students live on campus.The students whodo live on campus usually go home on the weekends. There are not many clubs here either. When I walk across the campus, I notice that most students look cold and indifferent. There is no sense of political awareness at all among the student body, which means that no one cares much about what is going on across the country and around the world. I talked to a friend I made who has lived here for four years. He says that if he had it to do over again, he would not come here. He is a music student and even he dislikes the music program they have here! If you are looking to make some real friends and develop relationships, you probably will not like it here. I myself am planning on transferring to a school that has a smaller student body and a stronger sense of community. One upside, however, is the food, which is pretty good. This is a commuter school, with 20% of the enrolled students here part-time. You be the judge.
