Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be open minded, and prepared to take risks.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are opportunities to live in apartment-styled housing, studio singles, etc. Events are thrown every week, and choices can be made as to how involved in said events one would like to be. There are also options for Substance free and Quiet dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is a student-run Cafe here called Four Winds, along with a cafeteria called Hamilton Center. Some might say the food here isn't the best, but there are opportunities to cook in the dorm kitchens, or go elsewhere for meals.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are events planned very often. The campus is also located incredibly near to beautiful beaches, and the downtown area of the city.
