I graduated a couple of years ago. I loved what the school had to offer, but as an intellectual who loves meeting various new people, it was hard for me socially. The school provides a good education in whatever your major is. I was disappointed in the classes for non-majors, though. Make sure you meet students in the program's you're interested in because each program is different.

The campus is gorgeous. Good amenities. A plethora of resources -- it's even pretty easy to win a scholarship or grant to fund a project you may be working on. Even I, a student with a 2.0 gpa at the time (I should have dropped a few classes and changed my major to something I really loved but that's another story) was able to get funding for my projects just by being able to propose a well presented idea.

Lots of opportunities at this school to create a movement, project, invention, masterpiece or stake your own claim to fame.

The other students you encounter fall into the trap of trying to impress the dallas and California born blue bloods (aka rich kids who never learned how to do their own laundry until first day of school -- until they figure out there is a laundry service on campus). You have to make an effort to find a variety of students.

You need to choose the right major for you, interact with the art students, join organizations you can learn from and care about and try to befriend your professors and teachers aides as they can become life long friendships.

This school has a ton of opportunities. Make use of it. Make as much effort as you can to surround yourself with positive people of all walks of life and ages. This school can either break your bank or make you into a young adult with command, charisma, intellect and influence. :)
