Everyone was nice and helpful. We apparently looked lost before our tour so people offered help.

Staffer in bookstore not only showed me where the item I needed was, she reached and got it for me, all with a smile.

It's nice. We have been on beautiful campuses and this isn't one of them but it does have some lovely landscaping and some pretty brick buildings. The Engineering building is awesome!

Very Nice, everything worked, no litter etc.

Didn't see the but they are pretty standard according to the web page. Dbls with a shared hall bath. They're in the process of building a new apts. for sophomores. Due to open fully in 09

College Prowler says that it is "sufficient, but not exemplary." Guys felt it was fine, girls were more concerned with their personal safety but you will find that everywhere.

It's a good place where I fell my kids would be challenged, and supported. They would be able to find a niche here and it will help them reach their professional and academic goals.

Lots of outdoor rec opportunities!
