This is a great school if you're looking for something in a very urban environment. It was not the right fit for me for numerous reasons, including the lack of a normal campus, grade deflation and lack of school spirit. It's a good school, but I don't think it's worth the expensive tuition in the end.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It is probably good for some people, but I would highly suggest researching about your major or program and comparing it to other schools. If you are pre-med, DO NOT take Chem 101. Take Chem 109 if you can because Chem 101 will ruin your GPA unless you are one of the very, very few people that gets an A or a B. Live in West if you like to party and east if you want to be near classes.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Unnecessarily hard to get an A, particularly in any STEM classes.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Freshman dorms are not the worst, but the sense of community that I know people at other schools experience isn't there for the most part. The room selection process is terrible and random at times.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
One of the best perks of a big school. Dining halls are pretty good and the unlimited plan is the best way to go. If you want something different, there are other things on campus and endless places to eat in the city.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you're have money and/ or you're 21, the city is a lot of fun. The social life is prevalent, but a lot of times there wasn't a lot to do in the winter, especially in the winter
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Don't ever step on the seal in the middle of campus near Marsh Plaza.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Endless options for club and intramural sports and other clubs. People I know have even walked onto some D1 sports.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Not dominating, but it's there. No sorority houses, which is lame for the girls, and all of the frats are in off campus apartments. It's mostly where freshman girls go to party.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Annoyingly strict, especially about overnight guests and alcohol
