Easily one of the worst colleges of all time. I'm an early college student and it's a complete wonder why students pay upwards of $30k a year just to go to this place. The buildings are absolutely disgusting, the professors, for the most part, are lunatics and seem underqualified. The school has had many accreditation issues. DO NOT GO HERE.

SAU would be better if you did not have to deal with a crippled administration. I cannot believe how unprofessional and I-don't-carist people are when they are behind desks (not doing ANYTHING) all day. It RUINED my experience on this campus. I would not recommend it to ANYONE.

Tuition is high because it's a private school, but the school isnt worth the money they're asking for. Most of the faculty and staff are very unprofessonial. They can't seem to keep their financial books in order and could face closure. They invested billons into a football stadium they can't afford and the team sucks. No student activities
