UPG, though presented as a nice and caring facility, is really quite the opposite. The RA's are on a constant power trip, and act like Nazi's. Do not be surprised if you are singled out, targeted, and even spied on. This kind of treatment is not limited to their on-duty times, but also when they see you in the day as well. The food is disgusting, and, though advertised as being healthy, is an all you can eat fat buffet. The professors are nice, along with the nurse, but the rest of the administration will treat you as a child. Do not expect to be treated with much respect. At night, even during the weekends, the place is like a prison. They say that this is for your own safety, however, it is more of a pain in the butt, and you feel like you have no freedom. You probably will be more of an individual living at home. If you have a car, watch where you park. The University "Police" watch the parking lot like hawks, and if you are parked in the wrong space, it will be very likely that, with your budget in consideration, they will place a hefty fine on your car. Yes, that means even if you are a visitor. As for the Police, you would be better off hiring mall rent-a-cops. They sit behind their desks, watching the monitors, and stuffing their faces with doughnuts. They also enjoy hanging out at the RLO during duty to take a few minutes to rest their feet and watch TV. Need a ride? Don't bother asking the campus police. They like to drive around in their flashy vehicles, but are insanely rude if you bother to ask for a ride across the major street while in the midst of a thunderstorm. Take my advice, save your time and money. You are treated unequally here, and you will feel like this is a prison.
