I believe a very motivated and outgoing person should attend this college. This years freshman class is 5,000 students. That's three times the size of my high school. With so many students comes large lecture halls and class sizes. In order to do well you have to be an active learning and be able to become aquainted with your teachers. It's so easy to get lost in the mix at this school since there are so many people. It's also easy to get lost and you have to have common sense in order to avoid crime.
