Okay, here we go. She said the campus is beautiful. The food vendor is new and better than the old one. The food is good, but some kids do get bored with it. However, her child kept a meal plan all 4 years, even when living off campus.

Dorms are a mix of traditional and suite-style. Freshman and sophomores live on campus, juniors and seniors mostly live off campus. There are apartments nearby. The college used to require juniors to live on-campus too, but apparently enrollment was high so they released juniors. (I suppose that could change again.) All of the dorms run along the lake, so roughly half the rooms have gorgeous lake views.

The greek system is small with half local and half national chapters. No fraternity or sorority houses (although she said upper classmen often live together in off-campus houses that sort of function like a fraternity house).

A good chunk (45%??) of the students are D3 athletes. Her child was.

Classes are typically small and kids get to know their professors. And the professors seem to genuinely care about students and enjoy what they do.

As you can probably tell, her child had a very positive experience.
