It only took one semester for me to see this school was awful. As someone who grew up in a college town, I can vouch that this school is seriously below par. I went here because it was cheap and other side of the state. Huge mistake. The freshman dorms are disgusting and the entire campus is covered in concrete resembling an M.C.Escher painting gone wrong. The food was decent but very unhealthy. It felt the campus is very dark, muddy, and puddle filled and plain scary to walk about at night. All hallways are winding and confusing. There were many incidents of dorm theft and stories of people being held at knife point. A friend and I were at the library late one night and felt very uncomfortable walking to our dorms on the other end of campus however the the on campus transportation did not come as scheduled. We then called public safety, who very rudely attempted to scold us and tell us that they were not a taxi service. There is no social life and almost everyone leaves on the weekend. Professors did not care at all, had no idea who i was despite coming to several office hours because classes were too big, and one barely even spoke english. If drugs are your main hobby and you like going to boring parties with people standing around one boring pong table this is the school for you. Otherwise, save your money. Go anywhere else!
