While the school is beautiful, there is bothQuite BrightBiology
While the school is beautiful, there is both a definite political and social agenda. If you are normal, if you are a republican, if you are not okay with an unusually liberal agenda, or if you do not want every single tiny thing you do or say get blown up out of proportion by everybody, do not come here. This is an incredibly liberal, and progressive school. And people will freak the f*** out if you do not fit into their mold of a good little socialist. They even go to the point of attempting to force people into thinking that one is unable to assume gender (utter bullshit, there are only two genders) and make you introduce yourself with pronouns. For example, "My name is (insert male name) and my pronouns are he him and his." The school, however; is not all bad. If one is able to survive the oppressive liberal agenda, the education here is filled with passion. The professors are always eager to help the students succeed. The students here care about their studies, and are able to hold intelligent conversations with one another, making the campus life incredibly fascinating. I would also like to give a special shoutout to the Greek Life and CRU communities for being particularly friendly and fascinating. Also, the school is uncannily beautiful. There are many trees for the students to sit under and read. The Down Under Cafe is delicious. While the library does not have good hours, it does have great service. I would also highly recommend the game room to anybody looking for a good time. This is not the right school for me, and I will be transferring at the end of the year, but this is a great school for others, and those who fit into the mold will both survive and grow here.

Question
Most of professors were great, especially in theBiology
Most of professors were great, especially in the Bio dept. The school itself is extremely liberal and assumes all students are as well (maybe thats all colleges). Had to pay to pay my bill.. To pay your tuition online, you are directed through an outside website thay charges 2.75% of what you are paying.. As if college isnt expensive enough. I also witnessed a couple counts of cheating IN CLASS and the professor did nothing.. Library has AWFUL hours

Question
Lots of administrative hoops to jump through repeatedlyBrightEducation
Lots of administrative hoops to jump through repeatedly as they tend to lose paperwork. No interoffice system so student is expected to run paperwork from department to department for signatures. If you get physically hurt do NOT bother with the student clinic - it is a joke! If you do get hurt do not expect anyone in authority to care.
