申请点评
- Campus Resources: Decent gym. Fairly useful library. Little, if any campus activities outside of clubs, and the general aesthetics I find to be lacking.
- Campus Resources: You can go to the computer lab, the library, and the lounge to have access to a computer, or link up to the internet with your own laptop. The connection is good as well. The cost of printing is low too.
- Student Body: The student body is very diverse, with a lot of foreigners and a small number of exchange students. There is little problem fitting in for anybody.
- Academic Experience: Good professors who are usually fairly capable of teaching. Easy curriculum and registration process. Tutoring program is sub par from what I've experienced.
- Academic Experience: My major is Business Administration/Management. The part I take away the most is the real life experiences people share in class. Some of my instructors also own or operate their own businesses so they can give the best advice that isn't from a textbook.
- Academic Experience: So far all of my teachers have been excellent. They know what they are talking about and can present it in a way that's understandable. Registration is good too. I can go online and look at a list of all the times, days, and instructors available for one class and make the choice that works for me. Business is on of the big majors. Nursing and Computer Science are the other two big ones.
- Campus Quality: The English program is outstanding. The professors work with the new technology offered to them. They also incorporate what we like to do outside of class as examples or finds connections to what we are learning about.*(4)
