      I liked the size of the school because I was able to recognize people and looking back on my freshman year, that helped me out a lot with making friends. Some changes that I would like to see for future students is luckily already being done! My school is expanding its campus which I think is important because more events can be held at school so that students won't get "bored" with how small our campus is.

      Lots of activities, great variety of programs to choose from!
      School spirit continues to grow and increase across campus. Social media apps help keep us all in the loop on what’s happening around campus . Sports to bus trips, campus wide games and events, food trucks and organized activities just make the learning environment that much better..... not to mention safe for us!
      There is no campus life. They cram six people into a dorm only made for four people. The dorms were also filthy when all students moved in. There were many health violations such as build up on pipe lines that could have become a fire hazard. The dorms were apartment style, and one of the other safety failures such as no fire alarms in the rooms. The fire alrms were in the kitchen, but if one was in the shower or in the room with the door shut, they could hardly hear the alarms. The cafeteria is a fast food stop and holds no nutritional value. The classes are extremely business driven which can seem good but does not apply to everyone at the school. Yes, the school is a business school, but it also has majors in English and psychology. In English and psychology, business may not be important, so it should not be included in general math courses.
