The expectations of the students are pretty high but the professors are always willing to work one on one with students to ensure success.

Some of the dorms are a little outdated, but the communities in the dorms are fun and supportive. Most physical problems are solved within a couple days.

There aren't too many dining options on campus, but each one offers quite a bit a variety.

There are so many clubs here that it is hard to pick which ones to be in! Because there are so many, it is easy to get involved and easy to take a leadership position in a club you're passionate about.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Greek Life on campus is small but mighty. There not that many sororities or frats but each one is fairly prominent on campus. That being said, the greek life is not so ingrained in the social life of the university that not participating in greek life leaves you left out.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is pretty small so you're never far from another student or security personnel. Fairly often are blue call boxes that call security incase of an emergency. The surrounding area is pretty nice and residential; it is mostly filled with students, professors, and employees of State Farm Insurance.
