It has a diverse population of students and faculty. The environment is very welcoming and hospitality orientated. Also, the college offers many programs and clubs to get you involved around campus.
Academic Rigor
The academics here are not the rigorous. The class sizes are very small which are a good thing. You get a chance to connect with your professor on a one on one level.
Dorm Life
The dorm life is very fun and entertaining. You have different lounge areas which include ping pong, billiards, and televisions to watch your favorite shows on.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria/dining area is welcoming to campus students or commuters. The food is good and they even have some nutritious eatables also. The cafeteria staff does a great job preparing the food and making sure everything is clean and tidy.
What to do for fun
The things I do for fun is playing ping pong or pool with fellow students. They have various flat screen TV's in lounge areas so, I sometime occupy myself by relaxing in the lounge areas. The Rec Center is also for most part always open so I have the option of going to play basketball, workout etc.
