What's unique about your campus?

Deborah

The wheather and the environment is very good for activities and experiences

Jecenia

In the criminal justice field there are professors from around the country and that is great in my opinion because we as students can get different views about the same or similar situations. The different variety that exists. In the criminal justice department the professors go from very liberal to conservative to even feminist. Overall I believe that this university provides students with different ways of learning because the professors are from different cultures and ethnicities. This way students can analyze the different opinions of each professor and put them together to make one whole idea of learning.

The campus being small is unique. There are large main events held. A few months ago we had Mario Lopez on campus.

Jessica

The best about my school is that the professors are very helpful when you have any problems in your assignments. There are many ways to get involved in clubs. My school also has many activities going on by clubs in order to inform yourself or just meet new people. There is also many clubs that you can join from Sororities to an Anime club. This helps many people to make friends and/or connections.

Christopher

What I consider to be the best thing about this school is the solitude that comes with it in the dorms, library, and other study facilities on the campus. One reason is that since the student is away from home, he/she can have the upper hand in concentrating on study material for the classes he/she is taking. It also helps the student to go to the Learning Center or whatever tutoring services th campus has.

Since the university I am attending is mostly a comutter-type school, I can live at home and no have to worry about paying for a dorm or apartment. I also live with my parents yet have the full responsibilities of being an adult. It's the best of both worlds. Also, since this school is close to where I live, most of the friends I have will attend it as well; this means no stress since I will already have people to talk with on the first days of class.

Diana

The best thing in school is the location. Everything is close by! There is numerous restaurants, easy access to shopping centers and is in a quiet neighborhood.

Johnny

The Best thing about my school are the facilities that are avaliable to students such as the library, student assist center, and Recreation center that allow students to gain what they need when they are stressed out or need assistance on school work.

Nadia

The best thing about my school is that it has the feel of a public university, with all the resources and opportunities, but it's so small that it feels like a private school with small classes and many research opportunites. It has the best of both worlds plus a sweet tuition, and I can stay close to home!

Sara

The best thing about my school is the amazing teachers we have here. All my instructors for the last semester were very interested in the subject they were teaching, and concerned with making sure the students understood the material. They made themselves available to the students and provided a reasonable schedule for tests, quizzes and homework. If a course is taught by an apathetic intructor, then the students will have a hard time learning. I was fortunate in having the opposite experience.
