I think it's a great experience, if you're willing to go the distance. There are some students here who don't have any direction whatsoever, and sometimes it shows. However, there is no limit to the opportunities and support that you get here, if you decide to seek it out.

It's hard to socialize here because everyone has their own cliques from high school... Actually it feels like I'm still in high school sometimes, but for the most part people here are very agreeable and polite. Also, amazing burgers hahaha.
