Former student here. Worst experience I've ever had. This is often a topic in my therapy sessions and it's been a few years. From a lack of regard for BIPOC students, racial profiling, tokenization, and the campus's willingness to turn a blind eye to turn proclivities of its more affluent students, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's the only school I would ever pay my children not to go to.

Great people in the admissions office. The administration has done a lot to improve the academic/athletic/student center facilities on campus,as well as the schools national academic standing. The professors deeply care about the "growth of the students"from both an academic/intellectual perspective as well as from a social perspective too. The school offers excellent employment opportunity resources to help foster that student "growth"into future successful careers!

Very bad place for the amount of money you will be paying, the dorms are very out of date. the professors are very lazy and don't really care about much other than their pay check
