Very very expensive for nothing, credits are NOT transferable meaning they arent even on a community college level, the professors have favoritism towards other and it's a boring campus. Nothing is happening except them getting PAID. They have no sports, no fun activities, boring guest speakers, no parties, no intelligent conversation...there is NOTHING!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would live on campus. Right now I am living off campus approx. 45 minutes from the school. I went with a girlfriend who was going to another school and things did not work out for her. It would of been much easier to be closer to school and I would be more involved in some of the activities if I were closer to school. I would probably have made more friends, but with my work -- I still have made plenty of friends. Other than that I was very prepared for my adventure to an out of state school. I previewed the school and knew my budget, planned on getting a job and spending time doing homework. I probablly would have saved more money before going to school because I was on a tight budget when I got there. I had to find a job right away to afford all my living expenses until I was able to find a job. The whole experience has been positive and alot of life learning experiences.
