This is one of the most affordable schools in the country. It's small, so you get to know everyone. You won't feel lost. Most of the professors and administration really care about the students. It's easy to get good grades if you apply yourself. There are many fun events and organizations. Nice people here.

A great school in a small city. It's a lot nicer than you would expect in a city so small. It has a very nice feel with down to earth people willing to help others. The staff is very passionate about their respective studies and are always willing to help. Beautiful campus with no drama.

This school has a lot of activities and events. It feels like the professors really care about the students more and not their paycheck. Everyone is very nice and I would recommend others to go here.

Dont go here
Overall 1.5
Everything here is ok until it comes time for the weekend, this campus should be the definition for suitcase college . Not only that you are left with so little to do outside class, and if you do want to do something you will probably need to drive all the way to Hot Springs to have fun. (2hr trip)
