Major: English (This Major's Salary over time)
The English program is pretty good. It's one of the main reasons I went here (Creative Writing). I felt that I got a good education to prepare me for Grad school, rather than the exact area that I want to go into (Publishing and Editing), but that is normal for the field I think because it requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Other majors in the department may have more luck with getting a job right out of undergrad like the Professional Writing major.The students in the department are incredibly cliquey; I don't have any close departmental friends at all. In general, I also think the student body is clique-like based off of similar interests/groups. But within my clique, everyone is really cool and friendly, and fun to hang out with.Though you don't have to be religious to go here, I have found that a lot of the students that I have encountered are varying degrees of religious, but a lot of them are (varying from religious to very religious). This can get kind of uncomfortable for me since I am not a religious person by nature based on how I was raised.The professors can by clique-like also, but not as noticeable as the students. Some professors are very hard to handle, while others are very likable and helpful. The younger professors are the better ones; I think because their knowledge is more recent and they also are not far off from where we are currently.Athletics (at least swimming) are essentially DI based off of time commitment, which is why I went with a club sport (which was much better). Though the school is DIII, the athletics are very competitive, and that is not quite what I was looking for personally. I went to school to learn, not to learn around my athletic training and competitions.There isn't a lot to do directly off of campus, but some good towns are close by so it isn't that bad, though it can get annoying sometimes to have to travel. But the school is good for those accustomed to not doing much outside activity with friends, and just hanging out with people.
