Do you have any tips for prospective students?
i would encourage any prospective student to visit the campus first. smaller schools are not for everyone but if you visit and love what you see then it's most likely you will truly enjoy attending this university.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes are all informative and the required general education classes allow well rounded access to all of the different majors so students can figure out what interests them. the professors are helpful and all very skilled in their own teaching degrees.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
most of the dorms are all up to date and renovated and those that are not, will be in the near future. the dorms are a great way to make new friends and, once friends are made, easy to sign up and room together.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the dining hall is small and has specific dining hours which can sometimes be hard to fit into certain schedules. luckily there is jonzzey's, a small cafe, that is always open for meals and snacks between classes. the dining hall provides different food for each meal but other choices such as cereal, salad, and sandwiches are always available.
