It is a safe, clean, and rather nice campus with plenty of spots to study or hang out with friends. Almost all of my professors are helpful and great teachers, and the friends I've made so far are some of the best I've ever had. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm proud to be a Titan!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you know the area if you aren't familiar with it! It may not seem like it at first glance, but there are things to do and plenty of good places to eat super close to campus. Stay on top of your to-do list, though, because if you wait til the last minute to do things you could really screw yourself over.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I think this really depends on the track you're on, the classes you take, and the professors you have. Overall, however, I feel like my professors set forth challenges for me that help me grow as both a student and a person. Nothing they set out for you is truly impossible, but they often do make you apply yourself. I feel like I'm receiving a quality education.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
As far as college food goes, the food is pretty good. I think that the Grille could use more variety, but what they do have isn't half bad. There's also Starbucks and Sub Connection if you're not feeling what the Grille is serving. Plus there's tons of vending machines all over campus, so you never have to go far for a snack or drink.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Attend the annual Red and White Dance! Attend campus events in general - if you're there with the right people they're always really fun.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The tunnel between the library and Northside is always a nice spot to study or chill between classes.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I personally have had an encounter in which the campus police assisted me. They were polite and friendly and expressed what I felt was a sincere concern for my safety. It's nice to know that there's dedicated security right on campus!
