    5 stars all the way. I pay roughtly $1600 a quarter for 18 credits a quarter. That is the cheapest (least expensive) college education I could find. And most of my professors are PhD's, which is awesome.

    Depending on when you have your class, parking can be a struggle. It's fairly easy to find parking in the early morning or afternoon, but around 10 o' clock is when the lots are pretty packed.

    My favorite place on campus is the Atrium. Its a huge room full of living plants, trees, and ponds. In this room their are a bunch of tables and benches set up for students to socialize or to come and study. Also many of the newer buildings on campus are very energy efficient, they are green.

    It's a great campus, don't get me wrong, but since the campus doesn't offer housing and a majority of students are commuting everyday it would be nice if tuition wasn't so expensive, especially since in the past year tuition has gone up 16%.

    If you are wanting to transfer and are tight on money, this is the way to go. You need about $1500 per quarter plus books which can be around $400. Then it's three quarters per year. Schools like the UW and WSU will honor your credits but they were less expensive.
