Describe your classmates in one sentence.They are diverse.,What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?The financial aid office.  They give the run around, if you have a private loan they sometimes stall until it expires or you don’t get it until after you really need it.  Financial aid is really one big mess. I’m still waiting for them to certify a loan they were supposed to certify weeks ago.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The parking situation would definitely be the most problematic aspect of the school.,What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?The quality of the staff here; I was going to go to Auburn University, but I did a semester at Troy in order to prove to them I could handle the workload in the Computer Science field. The faculty and staff impressed me here so much that I turned down Auburn’s offer of enrollment.

What is your school best known for?Maybe football.,What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?There was no one there that was really focused on our lives after graduation. They just wanted to get us out of the door. I was from out of state and they really had no financial support for anyone who did not grow up in the area.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?Troy University is a great escape from anyone you know: the idea of being of utterly free from any parental supervision, basking in your beginning of adulthood and bathing in activites your parents would not approve of. All of these sound nice, but there is a downfall to these activites. that downfall is alcohol abuse. this is an apparent and growing problem around campus.,Describe your school in one sentence.Troy university is like home away from home.
