The amount of financial aid I received was phenomenal (new rules as of 2017 changed this.) Additionally, my parents are alumni of my university. I also had an extended family located within 3 hours of my school.
Course Curriculum
The curriculum is well rounded with courses in business, economics, political science, anthropology, and foreign languages. 6 language courses (Spanish, French, or German) are required to graduate from the program.
Fees
Any fees are built into your tuition. Depending on the program of study, the program fees vary. For example, nursing program fees are more than history program fees. Tuition payments are split into 8 payments (4 a semester.)
Faculty
The faculty are very supportive. They enjoy getting to know you on academic and personal levels. The most positive experiences I had with faculty were with my social science and Spanish professors.
