Basically if you're rich and extremely religious, go here. This school is so over priced and poorly run it's ridiculous. I was locked out of my dorm and my meal plan was cut off twice. The second time I was given absolutely no warning. I was in class the whole day and then I had to sit through a four hour basketball game for pep band. I got back at 11 and was locked out of the dorms. The internet is always down. E-mails frequently don't go through. The scholarships are pitiful. I know personally the band scholarship was not worth anything. The time students with a band scholarship are expected to put in is completely ridiculous for the amount they give.The same for pep band. People are better off just getting a job. They'll make more with minimum wage than they will with the band program. That's with combined band AND pep band scholarships.
The food is actually the most disgusting thing I've ever had to eat in my life. For what students are paying to go to this school, the food shouldn't be the stereotypical horror story of cafeterias. The cafeteria hours are also ridiculous. Especially on the weekends. Most people on campus have cars and I quickly figured out why. The school is in the middle of nowhere, there aren't any bike paths unless you go way out of your way, and the bus system is awful. By the way, the I.D.'s can't be used to ride the bus. Students also have to pay for bus passes.
The dorms have one tiny light in them, and the bathrooms were covered in bleach and ruined my towels. I was told I would be accommodated and be able to easily get a job on campus. I applied to 3 or 4 different places, heard back from one that was only open during the times I had class.I was unable to get a job. They also said they would be helpful financially. Lie. I went in to ask about scholarships and the women in the office were very dismissive and frankly, rude. Also, if you don't want to go to church everyday to make friends, please avoid this school. As a transfer student, it was impossible to meet anyone. I'm religious, but I was not about to go to church seven days of the week. No one really reached out, and I didn't have a roommate, so my social experience was also awful.
Basically, the school is just not worth $32,000. They're completely delusional too, if they actually believe they have a "dry campus". I couldn't find any honest reviews of this place, so hopefully this might help a few people who were wondering. Again, this place is the perfect fit if you are very religious and don't have to worry about money too much. Otherwise, please consider other options. read more
