The campus is "cold". There is NO sense of community at this campus. There are no social opportunities to meet other students. The clubs offered are minimal at best. The "activities board" located next to the school store? is constantly blank. For a school focused on entrepreneurship, they have fallen short on promoting students to reach out to their consumers, know their local demographics, or even learn to communicate to people. Honestly, the campus feels like a "commuter school". I am not the type to party, but it would be nice to have an opportunity to socialize. The majority of the student population is international. The menu offers no diversity. My expectations are not high, however offering more than one or two cultural foods would be nice. The dorms lack any common areas, if you don?t count the one coffee table in a corner. No chance to engage in socialization. No chance to meet other students in your dorm. It took weeks for me to locate my RA. This has been a very disappointing, lonely experience considering the expense of this school ($87K+).
