My experience has been that of going to summer camp. The campus on the outside is nice and well kept. It is especially beautiful during the fall. However, go into the dorms that don't cost double the housing cost, you will feel like you got transported to a run down camp with a room that is the size of two closets. The reason that I find it an issue because it seems that the school does not know how to use their money correctly. Instead of focusing on buildings that are molding and old, they build new ones that increase the price. As for academics, it depends on your major. The university focuses a lot on the nursing program and the religion majors. But if you are a biology major, say good bye to any funding or such. The professors in that department are over worked because of staffing and their true skills are not given enough room to shine. If they were given, the school could produce ground breaking research and brilliant doctors. Overall, do not fall for the tour. Ask to see everything. read more
