University Reviews

  • Great small school, professors are really there to help you and always have office hours open for students. Lack of diversity on campus, so it can be hard to transition in and find place on campus. It’s hard to find online learning as engaging but they do their best.
  • The universities athletic events could use some more fans, and the students that don’t go are missing out on the exciting atmosphere.
