Student Reviews
The Potential Potential
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I really liked the university itself. However, it is a commuter school so student life is a little dead. It was a bit difficult to make friends coming in as a transfer student.

Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The library had four floors each with its own noise level for your study preference, which I utilized frequently during my time on campus. However, in my last 2 years, many facilities, and parts of the campus, were closed off to students due to a new development project that was promised to be finished on time, but it was delayed several times.
Alright school
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
It's a commuter school, so it's catered more towards those type of students. University life felt nonexistent but the campus was fine and the teachers are alright.
