Academically this school has been successful in helping me reach my career goals. However, the campus community has been severely detrimental to my growth as a person. It was nothing shy of being placed directly in an environment similar to high school. I felt out of place because of my race (african american) and tried multiple times to participate in campus activities despite my feelings of isolation. Administration support also appears to have mixed priorities. My first year there, in 2007 I walked in on my roommate doing drugs and though complaints lead to no action, I was still seen as the bad person when trying to resolve the situation myself, and was forced to switch dormitories. I was sexually assaulted, but encouraged not to report it as not to statistically bring down the school and was robbed the subsequent year on a campus that "prides" itself on being safe. Overall, the academic success I have had with this school could have been obtained through another educational institution, and therefore I feel obliged to recommend anyone from not attending this University.
