I like my school it’s a small school so everyone knows each other the work is not that overwhelming most times and our administration team is nice we have nice events and a nice system that us students use it’s just the town is kinda boring and everyone goes home on the weekends.

Good school I cant wait to attend! When I first went there for the open house I was surprised about how cold it was in the auditorium even though it was like 30 degrees outside. The school is indeed christian based which is good for me and I was happy about seeing the international students there from India. Overall we attend the tour and it was great! Everything was suited for me!

For the most part it seems to be a well put together school. That is until you actually attend. Throughout my very first semester faculty lost a lot of my paperwork and was threatening to kick me out of school for their mistakes. As far as academics go there should be a broader spectrum of majors to choose from.

  10. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing i considered about my school is are Financial Aid department. The reason why i say that is because, I am award to the State of Florida. Being on your own, and paying for your college on your own is really hard. The Financial Aid department they want their money, and when they want they money the want it now. Yes, i get work study, but the money i earn for that is for me to be able to buy soap, toliet paper, and ect. Its hard when Financial Aid wants to take that from you.

  11. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known that this school is all about money. They are always talking about fining people for little small things. This year, I recieved a $100 fine simply because I was told that the 2nd floor, which is where I live, left trash in the hall, but when it all happened, I was away on a road trip, with my teammates. I also wish I would have known that the football team was terrible and have only one maybe 3 games in the last 2 years.

  14. What's the dating scene like?

    The dating scene is very similar to any other college. There are the cute couples who seem to have it all together, and you also have those who break up constantly to just make up. However the male to female ratio is pretty good on campus so finding a potential girl or guy isn't very challenging.
