WHAT I LIKED
What I particularly enjoyed were my experiences with my professors. Almost all of my classes ranging from my actual major to English and other core subjects were excellent instructors who did a great job helping me grow from the person I was after graduating from high school.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The only real frustration I had was occasionally dealing with the student center. They can at times lose track of things and it can be quite a headache if you don't stay on top of it.
