I do feel it could be better in terms of safety, as a big fuss is made about having proper identification at all times, but a lot of precaution NOT being taken to insure the safety of students. Security will sit on their phones and wave anyone in without checking ID. This is a huge concern as trafficking is a huge issue in the area and some questionable characters have made their way onto campus They and campus police are quick to report to a scene should an emergency occur, though.
Housing is poor as maintenance is very slow with staying on top of repairs. Hot water is scarce, and leaks are prominent. There’s the issue of renovations being made and me not receiving my dorm key until 2 months into the semester; not convenient at all. Food is a hit or miss. Little options for lactose intolerant people or those with IBS.

In terms of the faculty within the Marine Sciences, I could not ask for a more supportive, caring group of mentors! Throughout my matriculation, all of my MSCI professors have had my best interests at heart as a student and a professional. The remaining faculty and staff, however, does not seem to support students to their full potential and are not as invested in our learning experience as I would have hoped for them to be.
