    In any program, you will be prepared when you leave the school. If you know how to stretch your meals, then you will never go hungry. But with all the free perks, student activities, and other services and events, it is definitely worth every penny! (And I am paying full out-of-state tuition.)

    Good price, but there are a lot of negative aspects. Some people do just fine there though, I just had a lot of unlucky experiences. If you are going to be a teacher it'd be a good school, but again, it's hard to get into classes. They fill up quickly because they let everyone in and have no teachers or rooms.
