We’d love to show and tell you more—in fact, we believe the best way to get to know us and our solid opportunities is to visit our departments, classrooms, athletic facilities, library, performing and visual arts venues, food and recreation centers, and beautiful pathways within our park-like, 150-acre campus. Visits are available Monday-Saturday and include a tour of campus, meeting with your admission counselor, learning about financial aid, talking to coaches or faculty and even lunch! If you haven’t seen our campus, you’re missing out.
I was immersed into an enriching environment where I always felt supported. I took classes that both challenged me and that I enjoyed, while simultaneously providing me with real life experiences. My professors became my biggest advocate; they were on my side and provided immense support. While the staff contributed to this safe and caring learning environment where I felt I was always welcomed.
