D1 athletics has improved school spirit here, but overall the social scene is pretty sedate. The town itself doesn't have many options but there are several on campus clubs and organizations- students just need to seek them out. As any big school, there are a lot of options but some are hit or miss. Bio, nursing, psych, engineering, and poly sci departments are distinguished in the Northeast because of their many strengths; however, some other programs are simply mediocre. There is treasure to be found, and overall students really appreciate the affordability.
