the fact that it is a large and mainly commuter. this makes it hard to get socially invovled with peers and other students.

Chase

General Education, because in general they don't educate.

Bianca

Discrimination against Christianity and conservative beliefs.

Jose

Parking is hard to find because the lots are full after 9am and the city requires a permit to park off campus.

Robin

The worst thing about my school is the administrative faculty. Those that work in specific departments tend to not want to waste their time on you or your inquiries, and do so in a rude manner. The main administrative building for the school which houses everything from academic advising to the the bursars office. You can spend an entire day being sent from one office to another because they can't help you, only to end up back in the very office you were first sent, and leave with only a headache and more questions than you came in with.

Shilpi

Expensive on-campus housing.

Candice

For me the college experience has been great because I live in a sorority and am close to other on and off-campus housing. What is unfortunate is that most students commute and miss the real college experience. The real college experience is achieving some independence by living away from home and having others to share that with. The 2 years I have lived here are memorable and I have experienced my greatest growth as a person. I have gained confidence and learned to trust and like myself. I am now more prepared for the world after college.

Kareena

The whole school is very much a commuter college fille with immature kids straight out of highschool that still live at home. Harder for an intellectual person to feel at home. Lots of preppy 17 year olds who think they know what life is like.
