Living on Campus

The dorms are mostly very nice and not that old. They are clean and good to live in. The cost of this school is reasonable and one of the cheapest in the state. There is financial aid and scholarships available to me should I need help paying. The housing process is easy and convient since it is all done online. Everyone here is really nice and the social atmosphere is very good. Freedom of speech and all that is accepted and no one is judged here.

School Spirit

Games are somewhat spirited, could be better though. For the most part they are fun, but would need a bigger student section. The work out facilities are great though.
