In all honesty, I really wish I had gone somewhere else. I'm graduating this fall with an absurd amount of debt, and it was not worth the money at all.

This is what happens to your money. You get mediocre professors, the dorms are a disaster, and all the students are all completely broken-spirited.

Go into a dorm building…not one they show you on a tour, but just follow someone in, and look how out of shape it is. You literally cannot use the bathroom on the weekends. Almost every friday and saturday night, someone vomits all over the place or leaves some other mess, and it doesn't get cleaned up until monday, and then the entire building shares whatever bathroom is clean, if you're lucky there's two.

Then go into the admissions office or the Casey academic center and look how ridiculously lavish it looks and ask the president and the sports coaches about their sportscars and european river boat cruises. That's where your money goes…to the president and to disguising the college as a place where actual learning occurs.

Campus is not very diverse, which makes you feel sick after about a month. Besides the few model students they bribed in with full scholarships to help their reputation, the rest are not very bright or interested in intellectual pursuits, and rather snooty.

Also, there are a lot of stories in the news recently about colleges trying to conceal sexual assault cases and not dealing with them appropriately, and this is one of those places. There was an incident last year where a lacrosse player was accused of something and the college refused to investigate because they didn't want to create scandal and they wanted their team to win. Absolutely disgusting behavior.
