    campus safety you can depend on because they have sercurity all over campus. the chancellors also be around to make sure that everything is ok. but you can always depend on the campus sercurity.

    Greek Life

    the sga club( student government association) is the most popular club. they participate in alot of community service projects. they are also the voice when it comes to school activites.

    Bang for the buck

    over all when it comes down to getting your education and not having the money to pay for it, the financial aid office sends out e-mails to students telling them about scholarships that students will be eligible for. a great way to help struggling students.

    for fun we work out and play basketball. we have sports and clubs that people can participate in for fun. we also have other activities that people may have interest in like dance or theatre

    Food and Dining

    the food dining is ok. it can more varieties of food during lunch and dinner. there should be a change in the menu.

    Academic Rigor

    the professors will work with you just incase you are falling behind on an assignment. they have tutoring for all courses from math to science. nice way to help out during school hours.

    Tips for prospective students

    students must be aware of the career field that they will be studying for. they must follow their curriculum so that they will be taking the right classes. always be prepared
