This school is perfect in every aspect. My classes are engaging, at least my smaller ones, and even my 200 Chem class feels as if the professor is talking to me. If I need help, they're there. The campus is amazing and I believe it was voted top 10 most beautiful in the country. There are some complaints about dorms…the freshman ones that were built in the 60's and 70's are ugly and are falling apart, but the ones on the green, which are the majority, the towers, and the huge new complex are really great. Downtown has everything and I never go hungry there. Dining hall food is surprsingly good. I can get a fried egg for breakfast or an omlette with fresh fruit…so the options for food are pretty good. However, I have encountered alot of snobby people and jocks. The girls are pretty arrogant, just talking on their cell phone, with their huge sunglasses and a popped collar. The guys (at least in my dorm) are all jocks and I don't know one that isn't obsessed with sports, which sucks because I don't really follow sports 24/7 like they do. Other than that, everyone else seems pretty laid back and friendly. It's pretty competitive here too…the first day of classes everyone was all ready to take notes and probably studied before class, and before calculus the next day, people were studying their notes. Get an A in your core classes because the competition is ROUGH…especially if your going into the popular majors like pre-med, engineering, business, etc. The work has been challenging so far…first day of classes and I already had alot of work to do. Just be careful how many classes you take because if you can't handle it, drop one…you won't regret it. Just take it during the summer or winter session.

As much as classes can suck and there always seems to be work, the weekends are amazing and there are parties everywhere, so have a good time, but work sort of hard.
