Take advantage of the small classes! Get to know your professors and definitely go to class. Also take advantage of the tutoring center. They are fantastic and almost everyone goes to them at least once. There is definitely no shame in going twice!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Every class is challenging, yet enjoyable. The professors all love their subjects and are complete experts, so there are always good conversations to be had and interesting things to learn.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are completely safe and secure. The staff puts a lot of effort into offering fun things to do in the lounge area, and have lots of tvs and games to play around with. The dorm rooms themselves are spacious and fantastic. Every room has a balcony and it's own bathroom!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are several places to eat on campus, especially in the cafeteria. There is also a Quiznos on campus, which is an awesome place to go if you get tired of cafeteria food. If you are wanting to go out to eat, there are hundreds of places within walking distance. Not to mention all the free food available on campus. It is IMPOSSIBLE to go hungry here.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are several clubs that have events open to everyone constantly on campus, always with free food, including a social night every Wednesday in the dorm. We also have free access to several museums in Houston and to the zoo! There are plenty of things to do in Houston, you are definitely never bored.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a private school, so it's definitely expensive. However, I feel like I am definitely getting my money's worth in education and atmosphere.
