Pre-Medicine

Not gonna lie, Pre-Med is kinda hard. The work is doable so do not stress, just you have to be able to put in the time.

Beautiful, but Subpar Athletic Facilities

The library is pretty good, with plenty of study space and computers, and with a good location. However, the book selection is surprisingly outdated.

The buildings are incredibly beautiful.

Student groups have access to countless facilities and resources. The athletic center is old, with a subpar gym area, many basketball courts, a pool, and many aerobics machines
