I came in as a transfer student as commuter. They do not realize that people work outside of school and had horrible class times, all in the afternoon and night.

If you don't start your freshman year in a dorm don't count on making friends. People do not randomly go up to you and will not help you if you need it (unlike my prior school). The students are caught up in sleeping around and drinking, the surrounding town suprises people who aren't from around there that there isnt much to do. I was aware but I just happened to end up here.

My issue is that if you're not into sleeping around, fake tanning, and drinking, the student population will not be for you.

academically however, I have had good luck with my professors, only disliking one class. The classes have been engaging so I must add a plus to that.

But, all the money goes to the business school, school of pharmacy, or the basketball team. Everything else is second rate and one can easily tell they don't care about any majors that "won't make them alumni money"
