    I know its a hard transition to make, but come your spring semester, it'll just feel like home. It's like high school only a little harder. Make friends with whoever you can, but don't get caught up in the party scene; your GPA will fall fast. read full review

    If you were to attend this school, I would definitely live on campus your first year! I live in Spruce Hall, which is a suite, and I love it! It is a great way to meet friends that you can maintain throughout the rest of your college years. Also if you are going to attend, I would just walk around campus the day before your classes to find where everything is! It seems like a big campus at first, but it is actually very easy to get everywhere! Knowing where all your classes are before hand is very helpful! read full review
