Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take advantage of student activities! There are honors programs, an active student government, tons of clubs, etc. I can almost guarantee that all of them will be worth your time.
Of course, don't let this impede on your schoolwork. Study avidly.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The school itself has a Curriculum and Educational Affairs Committee that attempts to improve curriculums to ensure a worthwhile education of which student representatives are encouraged to give input.
As always, there will be great or poor professors. Check websites like Rate Your Professor before registering for a class to be safe.

There are no dorms at this college.

Students who enjoy being active with school politics and extra-curricular activities will find many opportunities for experience here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Too many to list! I'm in the Philosophy and Psychology clubs, but there are many others that are very diverse; Human Services, Chess, Student Nurses, Veteran's, Hobby Gamer's Club, Music and Arts, Black Student Union, and many more.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Aside from the occasional smokers lounging about doorways where they shouldn't be, there isn't much of a safety hazard here. There are cameras and security guards about the school, but not so many that you feel like you're living in 1984.
