Get in contact with a student that is or has been at the school. The school is so large that administrators there find it difficult to help you greatly in depth. Live on-campus your first semester there so you can meet people. Save yourself some money and get the 14 meals per week plan because even though i would have gone over if i had this plan, you will order and eat out a lot. Last TIP, when ordering try a Calzone from DP Dough. I'm sure i won't be the last person to tell you that.

Importance of Good Grades

Overall
After successfully changing my final year medical Exams grades by Russell Zachary (bluehackangels407@gmail com), I was able to graduate as one of the student. I now worked at a good paid hospital. The truth is, as a student you are only hurting yourself if you think or pretend that your grades doesn't  matters. take it from me your grades do matters because good grades can show every amazing quality you have and colleges, scholarship organizations, and employers do look at grades. "YES" Your degree does not determine your life, However Good performance can earn you a good reputation and success.

Overall
a massive variety of courses and fields of study, all of which are taught with great care and at a very high level. some disproportionate funding and attention diverted to business school students as  but that is my only complaint. the location and atmosphere is an ideal college town.

Work on student life and resources beyond making a profit off students, improve the humanities in the curriculum and budget.
