First of all, this campus is a commuter school in denial. So after 8PM it does not feel like a college environment. In the past semester, crime has escalated dramatically. There are huge parking lots and less people around after 8, so this campus is perfect for criminals to get away with things. Crime has gotten so bad that they stopped sending students crime reports. The school has occasional events planned but they never can execute them well. Usually there are only 2 or 3 things to do and people are extremely shy, awkward, and clicky for college students. The school does not accommodate for the number of commuters that have to stay on campus all day. There is only one place to eat and it is overpriced. It is hard for people that live on campus to find a place to study because of the huge number of commuters on campus. Education department is not good because I found out two weeks into a new semester that they had dropped my Education degree plan a month before the new semester and did not inform me. I asked for refunds on books, classes,and online programs that I had bought for the classes and they refused and also did not help direct me in how to change my major quickly. The Advisors are terrrible! The only way to switch majors is to speak with an Advisor of the department you want to switch to but after waiting 2 weeks to see them, they tell you that they cannot speak with u unless you are that major! It doesn't make sense. I was able to switch my major to Business Administration but had to call about 20 different places to do so. College is already stressful enough, and this school makes sure to give students even more issues to deal with. The business administration majors are not allowed to minor in anything. The business Advisors talk down to you and mess things up. They'll make you take a basic course because you haven't done it even though you might have already taken a very advanced course in that same subject and aced it.
