Elizabeth

A person who gets along with others. One that likes community service and loves to read books. They should be expecting to get C's and B's because A's are hard to come by here. Join as many clubs as you can, all trips that they take are free. One that wants to be an active member in the community and in the school. If you love attending, planning social activities, this is the school for you. If you love the warmth, go to Florida or South. If you like winter sports then this can be your school.

You must be really self motivated to succeed. Classes are extremely tough- professors bend over backwards to help you out but if don't do the leg work, you will fail. Professors expect a lot from you and you must put effort into all of your assignments- blow off classes are few and far between.

Campus can also get a little dull so you have to be a creative thinker when it comes to having fun.
