Honestly, I don't have much expierence with colleges since this is the only one I've ever stepped foot on. But I never got a "warm" or "good" feeling about the university unlike my friends who all bubbled with happiness at their perspectative universities.

No one can give you a straight answer about scholarship opportunities. I lived in the dorms and had an awful suitemate (besides rampant sex in the shower, she and her boyfriend broke into my room) and I reported her several times to my RA.
