    In three sentences

    A university with many professors that possess real-life experiences in the field they teach. Numerous opportunities for networking with other students due to the small student enrollment. You get to develop a name for yourself and meet a lot of the students very quickly.

    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus and meet some of the teachers. Get to know if the school has what you believe suits you. Don't let them convince you to sign up the day of. Think about it. This is a big decision you are making and it will cost you a lot of money!

    Academic Rigor

    School isn't too difficult yet it applies real-life learning scenarios that may serve as a benefit more so than your average text book.

    Dorm Life

    Outdoor dorm setting that allows you to interact with lots and lots of students. Not too strict but definitely a safe environment.

    Food and Dining

    Food is pretty good, your average cafeteria offering. Dining facilities are nothing to brag out. Old TVs and almost like a high school cafeteria.

    What to do for fun

    If you go to this school, you WILL have a good time. Lots of outgoing people and it is only minutes away from the ocean. Also, Clematis Street and CityPlace in Downtown West Palm Beach provide the night life every college student dreams of. You have to be willing to spend some money though!

    Bang for the buck

    Very expensive school compared to others since it is a private university. Teachers provide all they can to make your education worthwhile. Administration and what they have to offer the students is sub-par.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    This campus has an outdoor pool, and an outdoor basketball court that I had never seen before. Library hangs over the water for a very scenic view. There is a lake and a river that runs through the campus. Very beautiful.

    Great for these types of students

    Hispanic Spanish speaking students. Very diverse student body. Lots of international students from Europe, Asia, and Latin America (Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, etc.)

    Clubs and Activities

    Numerous amounts of potential clubs and programs to get involved with. Easy resume building activities that stick out for potential employers. Basketball team is one of the best in the nation (in the NAIA level) and has gone to the championship twice in the past 3 years. Basketball games are a good time and a great environment to be in with friends.

    Greek Life

    No Greek life on this campus

    Campus Safety

    Campus security takes their jobs very seriously with night time visitors. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. What they say goes. Resident Assistants (R.A.s) allow you to do what you want in the dorms for the most part, but they will inform you what you can and cannot do. Listen to your R.A.s.

    Am learning a lot

    I was in the accounting program and I didn't learn a thing at all. The teacher wasn't very good at teaching it.

    Am enjoying being here

    Students are very nice and teachers are usually there to talk if you need anything. I just didn't like how small the school was.

    Bang for the buck

    Absolutely too expensive!! I know its a private university. But it sure wasn't worth spending so much.

    Tips for prospective students

    Scholarships! Scholarships! Scholarships!

    Great for these types of students

    Am learning a lot

    Small class sizes makes it great for learning.

    Am enjoying being here

    With the school being in South Florida, there is lots to do. Whether, going downtown for a movie, heading to the beach, or down to Miami or Fort Lauderdale there's always something going on around campus.

    Bang for the buck

    Since the school is private the price is higher than a public school. But, it is worth the price with the education you will receive here.

    Tips for prospective students

    I know that college's can sometimes scare seniors, but don't worry the staff here is great and can be very helpful all you have to do is talk to them.

    Great for these types of students

    If you plan on majoring in a business degree then this school is one of the best choices that I've seen in a while.
