Campus is beautiful and lots to do in spare time! My advisor is extremely helpful and have no complaints regarding the teachers. The departments themselves seem concerned about your success and willing to provide help/advise. I love this school however they have three very big problems. 1)They don't offer enough classes given the amount of students they have so I have an extremely difficult time filling my schedule every semester (eg. One Biostat class for the entire semester!), 2)they don't change up their order of registration. It's done by your class and within that, the last 2 digits of your SSN-00 being time slot 1 and 99 being the last time slot-I'm an 89 which means every semester I have last pick of classes. Combine this with not enough classes and it makes for a LOT of frustration. 3)They treat freshman and dorm students like 7th graders. Two of many examples: we were in lockdown for the entire freshman orientation (if I wanted to go to the bathroom I had to turn in my ID tag and pick it up from the RA when I was done)and, during my first year I was written up for having a plastic cup with a Miller Lite logo on it in my dorm. This school would be wonderful if a)they just added more classes so everyone could get in what they need, reverse the registration process every semester to make it more equal, and stop treating your freshmen students as if they're in 7th grade. They're adults now!
