There is no diversity and the party scene should be given a D-, because it’s almost non-existent. The funds are used for dumb things like stadiums for teams that rarely win, and things like “E-Sports”. Population is mostly white and annoying, coming from small towns and being ignorant and uncultured. Some professors are nice and good at their jobs, and those are the ones they want to fire because they actually care about the students. Residential Life sucks and is way too strict and hard on students. They’re even confiscating wine glasses and entering rooms without permission. All in all, it’s not a bad a school. Classes are good, I’ve actually learned a thing or two, but everything else lowkey sucks.
I absolutely loved the ability to connect to faculty and become part of their research! It completely changed my life and prepared me for a career (the only reason I put four stars is because politics on campus can get annoying at times, but I also recognize that such is everywhere).
I’m a freshman, and so far the experience has been good. The professors are hard and assign a lot of work (depending the professor), but they care about you and if you are lagging behind, they’ll work with you to get you on track. In High School, I attended classes at the local college (OUC) and I feel I’m learning a lot more here than I did there. They offer a good amount of financial aid, but it’s still expensive for someone like me who comes from a very low income family (I’m out of state). The parking passes are $70 for the year unless you park in the orange lot (free) but it’s about a block and a half away from my dorm. It sucks when it’s too hot or too cold and I have to carry a lot in. I love this school. Pixley is the all girls dorm and to me it seems like the biggest room dimension wise. There’s no evevator but there’s A/C (unit) in every room. I can get to all of my classes within 5 minutes of walking.
