Bad Choice for Education

The workload is insane. You can go to another school, take the exact same class, do half the busywork, pay A LOT less tuition, and still get a valid college degree. Faculty members are often demening and although they are usually friendly and work hard to make the experience good, they expect you to respect them at all times, even when they make stupid mistakes regarding things such as academic advising (academic advising problems arise a lot more than they should for a school this small), student housing issues, and unfair grades.

Housing is dusgusting, water in at least one dorm is always cold. If you want descent housing you have to apply for a special program and take an extra class. It costs the same as all the other housing.

Students are cliquy and drink way too much. Greek life and sports rule the school. If you don't participate in one or both of these, it's difficult to get acknowledgment from peers and staff members.

There is no diversity. Most of the students are upper-middle-class 18-22 year olds.

If you are a working-class student it's impossible to juggle the workload and a job.

No flexibility in scheduling. You get what you get and often times it isn't what you need/want to graduate, or your classes are spread out throughout the entire day so you have no time for a job or extra-curricular activities. There are also a rediculous number of adminsitrative hurdles to jump over just to even get signed up for a lot of the classes.

Not enough parking (and they are demolishing lots as we speak)

The only good things about the school are the student employment opportunities, the financial aid program, and the pretty campus, although they spend a lot of unnecessary money on beautification.

Local Restaurants

A lot of really good, small-town restaurants in the area. Most have good food but are a little pricey.
