They have an excellent program in a good location and was far enough away from my family so that I could have independence and really learn what I wanted to do. I have met a lot of my friends here and have grown immensely.

Course Curriculum

8

The course curriculum is great and not too difficult and allows everyone to grow and learn about what they might want to do. It provides a very diverse course load and it doesn't stress out the students like other programs.

Exams

I haven't taken all of the tests listed because I didn't need to and I will take the GRE later on in college in order to attend graduate school but at this point, I have only taken the ACT exam and I have not taken others.

Placement

6

The placement and job opportunities are available at on-campus restaurants or as a resident advisor or as a tour guide for visiting schools or at the bookstore or the library or in any number of research labs.

Internship

My college does provide internships if you want them but they are not required. They are great for experience for graduate school and the workforce. I am hoping to complete an internship later on in my experience.

Events

9

There are many events throughout the university that are put on by the various student organizations and by student government. At some point, they have concerts and food events and they all work to bring the school community together.

Fees

The fee structure includes tuition and then it also includes various other costs such as a technology fee and internet fees and student government fee and there are fees for different organizations you might join.

Scholarship

I do not receive any financial aid as they do not have merit-based financial aid and I have not received any scholarships because I haven't applied for any. I hope to apply for some scholarships in the future.

Examination Structure

The exam structure is different for every class but in general, there are quizzes throughout the quarter on a biweekly basis and midterms are throughout the quarter and then finals are set up during finals week.

Faculty

7

The faculty is very experienced and passionate about what they do. They are very research focused which provides an excellent experience for graduate school and for the workforce. I am very grateful for how invested the faculty are in their students.

Hostel

8

I lived in the dorms for my freshman year and that was great and included a mandatory meal plan and now I live on campus in an apartment but not in the dorms and I always cook at home. Housing is affordable and easy.
