Worse school ever. Take your money and set you up for failure
Overall 1.9
It is ok, nothing great. The school is profit driven and cares more about the bottom line than the students. Some facilities are fantastic; others are absolutely horrible, with unrealistic expectations.
Overall 1.9
Troy University was such a let down for me. Came in and was so excited. Marching band was such an underwhelming experience for a group full of people who think they're all music geniuses. The school acts like there's school spirit, but nobody goes to anything unless free stuff is given out. Get the vibe that some profs don't even wanna be there.
Overall 1.9
Boring school, teachers dont care
