It is a gorgeous college with so many opportunities. The professors are willing to work with any student who will put forth the effort. There is also something going on all the time so you'll never be bored.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The other students here were so helpful. If I needed anything, I asked my RA. There are places to go to have papers edited, to get help with writing, and there is always something going on.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are tough here, but we receive the education we pay for.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
My building is awesome. We have suites so it isn't an entire floor using one bathroom. There are lounges on each floor and one main lounge with vending machines, a tv, and a pool table. It is also coed, and my floor next year is gender neutral.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I mean, anywhere you go for college, it won't be a home cooked meal. I really can't complain though, because we have a sandwich station and another station where it is a different theme each night. Wednesdays is mashed potato night, Friday is crepe night, and Monday is taco night. It is as close to a home cooked meal that you can get away from home.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are dances at least twice a month during the fall semester, and once during the spring semester. We have a very nice gym, with a pool, and great work out equipment. If you play sports, then join a varsity sport. You don't have to be recruited. Join a club. There are so many options of clubs to join.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a little much, but I believe it is worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have Even Odd (or Odd Even). The women have a sing off and basketball game in the fall and the guys have a dodge ball game and dance off in the spring. Evens are the people who will graduate in an even year (like 2016,2014, etc)and their colors are blue and green. Odds are the odd graduating years, their colors are purple and yellow. It is just an awesome tradition. There are soooo many traditions. You really don't know what to expect until you experience them firsthand.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who want a very well rounded education, anyone who isn't out to party all the time and skip classes. Most classes attendance is mandatory.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Rugby, paintball, several cooking clubs, political clubs, there are way too many to list.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never felt unsafe on campus. The security here are the nicest people and will help with anything. I locked myself out of my room multiple times, I called them and they came right away. I lost my ID, they made me another. There are never any safety issues here, everyone has respect for each other and many people walk across campus alone at night. We have nothing to be afraid of here.
