The tour doesnt let you see the inside of a dorm. As a matter of fact the freshman dorms are kind of separated from the rest of the campus. They aren't nearly as attractive as the rest of the ca

Leaving campus is a little bit unsettling. As a matter of fact we saw a young boy running for his life from someone. He almost was hit by oncoming traffic since he wasnt looking where he was going.
