Teachers here are plenty friendly and genuinely want to see you succeed and the campus is small enough that you won't feel overwhelmed. Most of the undergraduate population know everyone else.

Then there's everything else.

The Honors program is not an honors program, its a complete waste of time that has you thinking about worthless horseshit instead of actually learning how to do anything productive. There is almost no program on campus that teaches anything useful. Most of The teachers, although well intentioned and friendly ( I'm on a first name basis with most of them) are to caught up in their little bubble of what they think is useful when really very little of it is practical for anything outside of philosophy.

Social life on campus is nonexistent. It too small for Greek Life and there is not much in the way of sports or clubs. If you're into partying, it certainly exist, although you have to find it in town. If you like a less rowdy weekend, it easy to accomplish.

In short I hate this school, and I'm leaving next year. I've come to the determination that liberal arts are completely worthless, and most people in such programs(though not all of them) are idiots that do not want to do anything that is actually worthwhile and challenging and are just in college to dick around. This place is just a particularly horrible offender, owing to its ludicrous honors program.
