    This place doesn't technically have a campus, so there's really no place to hang out at. You have to leave to somewhere else to hang out.

    Honestly, I had the most horrific experiences with my roommates and the housing here. The Office of Student Housing is awful. They are not helpful and they don't have an effective system in place. If you have any problems with your roommates, the school says they have resources but...
