Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you would like to attend make sure you meet with an advisor and stick with them. Prior to attend visit the campus, talk to current students, and make sure to register for classes on time. Classes fill up pretty quick.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically the curriculum is average but the professors are very helpful. They definitely value students and don't underestimate capabilities. The offer many options to get help in certain classes and offer many opportunities to get developed in your profession.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria food is a little pricey and I would suggest to pack lunch especially for a long day of classes. Although they do have vending machines in almost every building and have a Starbucks, so that's nice.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many programs that are offered outside of just the school requirements. I have seen many concerts advertised and programs for students to be involved in.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's very affordable especially if you have FASFA and apply for Grants. Although it does get a little pricey for out of district students.
