Get involved on campus. The school offers plenty of opportunities to get involved in something that interests you. As a new student, meeting people may not come naturally to you. However, joining these clubs and organizations is a great way to meet new people with similar interesting. Additionally, these extracurricular activities are ideal for de-stressing after class.

Thus far, the courses have been fair. The professors tell you what to expect on your tests and it is your responsibility to fulfill. I have not been surprised on any of my exams or presentations.

Each dormitory has its own program. I like how each building is known for their own program. I wish the parking lots were not so noisy and being next to a school is inconvenient.
