Beautiful Campus.
Dedicated Professors.
Several places to study, relax, eat, or wind down.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you EAT, SLEEP, and stay HEALTHY! Yes this may sound repetitive, but you will be running from one place to another, busting all nighters, and the stress will feel like a constant companion. Your weight will start to rise and fall at various times throughout the year. You need to make sure you start taking care of yourself before any of this happens. The transition will be a little hard, and you will need some time to get used to the new surroundings and freedoms, but somewhere along the way you will get the hang if it and it won't feel so daunting. Just take three deep breaths and remember-you made it this far, you can make it to your goal. Also, invest in a pepper spray, yes the school is very safe, but you never know who you may encounter. I have one, personally I never used mine, but I always have it with me just in case I ever need it. Hopefully that'll never happen to both you, me, or anyone.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The Professors are dedicated to their majors. They are passionate, expect greatness from their students, and have high expectations for their students. They love when students participate and it helps when building connections-not to mention it could possibly make the difference between a B and an A.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is amazing, the workers genuinely make you feel like coming back to eat there. There's a wide selection of food and has something everyone will want. The same with where you want to eat. You can enjoy your food, under the warm sun, under the shade of a tree, at the duck pond, even the library.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Go to the duck pond. They have a vending machine where for a mere quarter you can feed the many ducks and turtles they have there, or bring some bread from home and feed them all. If not share it with the squirrels.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There are specials in the restaurants where for $5 you can buy breakfast, lunch or dinner, or simply some snacks. Not to mention the facilities are always clean as well as the bathrooms. I once bought a very big slice of pizza and a medium soda for $5. It was delicious.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a Santa running around campus, usually in the beginning of the fall semester. If you see him while DRIVING, beware a ticket in your future.
The duck pond is a magical place. It helps you relax, relieve stress, or if your having a bad day the ducks there will help you feel better.
The squirrels there are very friendly. They aren't afraid to go up to you and steal a bite of your food or drink. If one comes up to you don't be scared, it's normal. Just throw them a small piece of your food and they'll leave you alone. Sometimes they stand on their legs and beg for some food, like puppies.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
You are bound to find the club(s) for you. There are hundreds to choose from and if you want to start your own, there is a way to do so as well. As for the activities, especially the freshmen, there will be several throughout the year to get involved with the school and break out of your shell.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There these blue things that look like those old school payphones. The ones where you had to walk down the street just to use the public phone to make a call with the change in your pocket. You press the button and someone will be there to assist you immediately. The police is always on the lookout for anything suspicious.
