What Students Are Saying

Academic level here is great, and if you need help you can depend on fellow students, professors, and tutors to assist you in your work so you won't get behind.
Joshua from Huntsville, AL
Some classes are insanely hard (due to my major). Some classes are not difficult to pull an A in. If you go to class and keep up on the work, you should not fail any class, except if you don't have the ability (Iike the math/STEM courses if you're not good at these).
Engineering Major
I think my courseload is exactly what I signed myself up for. I'm challenged in my classes, which is what every student needs. My professors make learning the material interesting, and even fun!
Rachael from Elgin, IL
Classes can be tough, it really depends on the professor. The library will become your best friend for homework and studying.
