The financial aid at this school if fantastic. I recommend this school if you absolutely can't afford school because they will pay for most of it. However, be prepared to do a crapload of work, compete in battle to get into the classes you need, and be surrounded by drunk frat boys and sorority girls all the time. Also be prepared to be treated like a child. The professors are cool, but the administrative staff is hard to work with if you have a problem with your schedule or housing (and you will). I would also HIGHLY recommend reading the website to see what classes you need rather than relying strictly on academic advisors. Most of the advisors are professors who don't know squat about anything out of their immediate field. My advisor didn't even know my name and was completely unhelpful in informing me of a few classes I needed to take. Needless to say, I graduated, but can't get a job in my field unless I take more classes, so again I stress, read the website, especially if you are in a licensure program with state requirements. However, most of the professors are very helpful, and I was blessed to find an amazing professor who has been helping me in the search for a job, so they aren't all bad. They are also pretty quick to get back to you if you have a question or a problem.
