This is a good environment to be in and there is plenty of opportunity. The only catch? You have to put good work in if you want awesome results out. Get ready to be pushed past limits that you have already set for yourself.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
be prepared, be willing to try new things, and be careful of who you interact with.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am only taking three classes and though I do have free time I also have a full plate.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It is pretty much hands off here; there are dorm checks and a RA and Dorm Advisor come in for some 5 seconds. They just want to make sure you aren't being super messy or destructive.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
...They are trying to provide different and delicious options. They are -trying-.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Walls are parties that are held on Fridays and Saturdays and they aren't for everyone, including me. No one will pressure you into going, though, and some of the themes are fun. We recently had a halloween wall and this weekend there is a pokemon wall. We like dressing up here and there is always a lot of open mics and events occuring on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
you are going to get close, small classes and the teachers know your name. I compared my bill to UCF and it is almost identicle. Very cheap for the education you are getting (and you can almost always find your books online for free).

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have had one bad experience with one guy in my dorm, but I have went to the police and the RA and it is being taken care of. There are always cops on campus, several blue phones, and they are not looking to get you in trouble. One kid had to resist five times before he got arressted, so they are very laid back. Just listen and do as your told and they will leave you alone.
