This is a college where you get out of it what you put into it. People have to remember that it is a state college. It is not going to be as squeaky clean as some of the other ones. In my experience, the faculty members are great--very knowledgeable and helpful. Many people here are nice. The departments offer very good programs. It is very cost efficient. I really enjoy it here and I know I made the right choice. I only have three complaints. One--some of the buildings are run-down. For me this isn't a huge issue because I've lived in worse. But if you're from a big city or rich family, it might bother you. Two--Terre Haute sucks. I can't speak to the nightlife because I don't party, but otherwise it's boring and kinda shady. Plus, people here can't drive. There's a lot of road rage and running of red lights. Third, and most importantly, a lot of the STUDENTS here are kind of low life people or are just not very pleasant in general. There's a lot of Jerry Springer type stuff that goes on in the middle of the night and campus police shows up--at least in the freshman towers. Luckily, most of these people will drop out by sophomore year. If you are good at ignoring nasty people, you'll be fine. Overall I would definitely recommend this school, especially if you are going into teaching, psychology, or social work. You just have to know what you're getting yourself into, have a willingness to be patient, and remember that you are here for an EDUCATION. All the stupid outside stuff doesn't matter.
