BGSU is by no means the worst university ever. In fact, on campus, I felt relatively safe and it was decently clean. The food was not bad, the school is vegetarian/vegan friendly, which is a plus (wish they didn't force you on a meal plan, though). Most of the teachers I had were very good. However, my experience at BGSU was also negative. The dorm I stayed in was absolutely horrific. Fire alarms went off practically every day and sometimes in the dead of night. Most of the individuals on my floor were obnoxious. These college kids who are supposed to act like adults have to be told how to take out their trash properly and how to respect others. Bottles of human excrements were left in the hallways and on the bathroom floors. Just a really nasty atmosphere. That is not the university's fault, however. I just wish more action had been taken towards the people in my dorm. I honestly tried to get out of the dorm most of the time, but even the surrounding campus/area made me feel extremely isolated. The landscape is entirely flat and lifeless. Granted, I should have known what I was getting into since BG is a small college town. Yet, even with that in mind, being there was absolutely agonizing.

I regret to say that I had to leave the place that was supposed to be my "new home", but I am in a much happier place since I left the university. Some people will enjoy it, some people will not. It defininely was not the place for me.
