General Comments: Congratulations to anyone who got in
@jmek15 I saw that you said you haven’t visited. If your daughter likes bigger schools, this would be good for her. I’ve visited and it’s almost like its own little town because it’s so large, but of course there are shuttles to get around in. It’s also typically known to be more of a commuter school, however I’ve heard that over the years it’s becoming increasingly less of a commuter school (I’m not sure if that’s actually true though). But even as a commuter school, there are so many students that I think people make friends easily. My cousin went there and had a great experience. It’s not one of my top schools for my own reasons, but I think people generally love it there.
