Food is great. They're generous with free food at events. Makeup in the campus store is relatively cheap. And yes, the campus is nice. But that's all there is to be impressed by.
Organization is awful. Emails from faculty and student aides are always mixed up, and student aides often don't have the same information as faculty/staff. They force students into community building exercises and events while still acting like we're in high school. There is little regard for students here for their education: they cater to party types and those here to socialize. RAs don't enforce quiet hours in dorms, so good luck getting any sleep before an exam.
Traer hall's walls are paper thin. As I type this, I can hear people outside my door yelling and laughing and blaring music. There is at least an inch of space between the bottom of the door and the floor, so insects are always coming in. The dorm rooms are so humid and musty that paper curls up. As I'm typing this, people I don't know are trying to open my door. The bathroom we share with another suite has a thick milky film of something unidentifiable in the drain of the bathtub. The underside of counters looks like its been rotted and eaten by termites. Ceiling tiles are out of place and drooping. Laundry machines seldom work the way they are supposed to. 3 girls have been sexually assaulted in this residence hall.
Student leaders (RAs, OGLs, SGA members) are insufferable. It feels like the only people that have their shit together here are the dining hall staff and some of the professors.
But some of the professors are absolutely top notch, and so are the counselors. I look forward to seeing most of them, and they're very relaxed and actually helpful. One of them even remembered my name after the first class.
