Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Describe the dorm life at your college.

From the students that have told me about it and from the housing websites, they are all fairly pricey, though nearby to campus.

Filtered water fountains are now available around some of the student buildings; essentially it is free bottled water, just provide your own bottle.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
For those who must walk to their cars alone at night, there is a night rider service. If you call, they will pick you up at whatever building you are in and take you to your car anywhere on campus. Additionally, the campus police respond quickly to calls, they keep you up to date on any disturbances on campus via email or text, and have multiple locations on campus. Lastly, they have emergency call stations set all over campus and parking lots.
