申请点评
- Academic Experience: I am deciding between Business and Mass Communications, I love to write and love dealing with numbers. I like a challenge it strengthens your ability to solve problems.
- Academic Experience: I am waiting to start the clinical part of Nursing. I believe it will be a challenge because its learning to take care of people and to aid in saving lives. Being able to do hands on learning is exciting, The curriculum is in depth and the workload will be that, a load.
- Campus Resources: The only place to print is the library. The worst part about it is they charge ten cents a page.
- Campus Resources: It is my understanding that you have to be enrolled in a PE course to utilize the athletic enters which is disappointing. They have a great student center and a library with helpful people on hand to help you with what you need. They also have tutoring labs for specific subjects that you can just drop by and get your questions answered. The campus is beautiful! There is a lake and plenty of walking paths.
- Campus Resources: The computer labs are great, they have the latest version of Microsoft Office on them which is very helpful! I haven't really had a need to print on campus but I believe there is some sort of "account" system for that. The network is very reliable on the desktops but the wireless can be a little spotty sometimes.*(4)
