Great School but I transferred. The social life is crap. Police not only bust every party, but take people to prison for allowing 20 year olds to drink underage on their property. People are afraid to have fun because they assume they'll have to pay a fine, at least off campus. Campus itself is so small that although you won't get caught by police, the 2 security guards are sure to find you if you're screwing up; 1 will write you up and both will shut down underage drinking.

Beyond this, there are almost no practical courses and generally, there is a lacking course selection. Unless you are majoring in environmental studies (a decent amount of environmental science is involved, but not the most rigorous of courses), you will not be happy academically. You may, however, be happy if you don't want a major. Here, while you might not always have classes you want to take, you will be allowed to take whatever you want and rarely have any prerequisites that you actually have to take; I took multiple advanced courses during my freshman year without any obstacles. The professors are fantastic and will almost always help you at almost any time. It's not like the old days, where they apparently smoked marijuana with each other and even the president partied with students, but
