Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
If you're looking for something more than nursing, being a cop, or a theater major go somewhere else. Vast majority of the students are very close-minded and not very ambitious. Teachers often scale and dumb-down tests so they have a passing class. The coursework is not challenging and does not make you think at all, it's just busy work.

The campus is small. There is no social life. The school is extremely strict on drinking and smoking (yes I mean even cigarettes) its a smoke free and dry campus and they are very quick to call the police on the most minor things. Its not a college, it feels more like a closed community.

The campus is a ghost town after Thursday as everyone goes home. There is nothing to do on the weekends. The school spirit is practically nonexistent. Groups and Clubs struggle to stay afloat because of the lack of interest and participation.
