"The campus is a good star for a freshman students cause allow them to do their transition in a friendly way. We didn’t’ have a athletic tour but we did have the opportunity to have the first induction for international students and it was perfectly planned it and the staff was involved were very professional, kind. The only challenge we have was from the person in charge of the international insurance, she doesn’t demonstrate it empathy to international athletes, and some point her attitude was rude. "

"Lack of inclusiveness for international students, no guidance and little to no team spirit. Very little variety for places to eat and healthy options for the athletes. I would overall say the environment is boring and lacks incentives to showcase a more thriving culture. "
