Pros: Good professors, good student housing, relaxed town and campus environment, cheap living on and off campus, relatively safe campus, plenty of students, good size campus for small D1 college, good recreation building and outdoor recreation rental building, average quality degrees, pretty diverse. Cons: Some very bad quality professors, town can be sketchy sometimes, coronavirus was run pretty poorly, weren’t any good or enough places to eat for a D1 university (they’re supposed to have a lot more soon), construction everywhere on campus and town, and poor university financial decisions. Conclusion: B- or 7.5/10 experience, most likely would be better in near future!
Absolutely love this university and all it stands for. Ever since I walked on campus I have loved every second of my time here. Professors have done a great job preparing me for the future especially in the business school (MCB). I feel that I was very prepared to step into my internship with a mind full of information and ready for more! Great campus life, many upgrades coming next year (Fall 2022) that I am very excited for and I think most students are as well. Their D1 atmosphere and programs are not incredible competitively but they always put on a show and are very entertaining. I love going to games even if they do end up losing because its a great time with friends.
The campus is absolutely beautiful, especially in the mornings. Professors here are really understanding and are really fun as-well. Classes are going to be difficult, of-course but it's fun learning. There are so many activities for students to do! Anywhere and anytime there are always fun activities being planned and help. For example one of the sororities help a taco stand and I felt like I was back home eating my street tacos with my Horchata! I really love the atmosphere and it's not too far or close from home!
