I admit I screwed up in highschool and graduated with a 3.2 GPA. However, my SAT scores were above average. Regardless, I ended up at Radford. What a mistake. While the other students are very friendly and nice, not a lot appear to be going to this school for an actual education. There is a LOT of drinking and partying. I'm not a prude and I've certainly had my share of paryting, but, the problem is that drinking is the only thing to do. The admin staff seems uneducated and unable to perform their jobs. The professors aren't that great. And the town is HORRIBLE. There are literally no decent store for the average female from a middle class background to shop in. The local people seem to resent the students, and the entire town is seriously depressing. On the bright side, the campus is beautiful. I would absolutely urge other students to choose a different school if possible. Most of the students attending Radford simply couldn't get into a better school. The problem with that, is that they didn't seem to learn a lesson, and continued to put studying low on their list of priorities. And, as said, the worst thing about Radford is the town. Ugh.
