Haven't attended yet, but the counselor I had to talk to about my major and minor was extremely rude. To be an adviser/ counselor you would think she'd be trained in patience and compassion. Those were not shown, AT ALL. She was extremely rude. I was 5 mins late to my appointment because I had trouble finding where I needed to be. She said I needed to come previous to know where i was suppose to go. i could tell she had other appointments but she was like having a panic attack instead of just taking a deep breath and not be frustrated with me. She was extremely rude. I ended up leaving and just came back another day to make sure I wouldn't have to have an encounter with this women again. She is my assigned adviser but i refuse to talk to her ever again because of how rude and uncomfortable she made me feel. She honestly made me not excited to attend but having talked to another adviser and attending the arise dinner. I'm excited to start but thought i should warn other future students if you just make it through the first encounter I'm sure it gets better, beautiful campus.

I graduated, and loved this University. I moved my 2 stars to 4 because I still refused to ever see my advisor again, also in my opinion I thought the Mays Center faculty were really rude. However I graduated with my Psychology of Science degree and loved every single one of my professors. I did take some electives with other professors and there was not one I did not like. The community there was great. I think the individuals that actually teach you, really care about your education and give you everything you need to succeed. The president of the University is great and very involved, however most of the people coordinating really need to adjust their attitudes. Also I made lots of friends at this University; the people that attend are great and open to help or study with you, if you are willing to start the conversation.
