If you are an athlete being offered aQuite BrightAccounting
If you are an athlete being offered a scholarship here, DONT ACCEPT IT. I had the worst experience of my life at this college. They do not care about their athletes. I was told that I was just a number by the head coach, was threatened, lied to about my full-ride, disrespected, and experienced emotional abuse every day. You will crumble here. Save yourself the horrible experiences that await you at this place and choose another college literally anywhere else. Dorms are awful and overpriced, food is mid, there's no college life, and Oh! There's a lovely graveyard right on campus too. Huge. And trust me, you'll wish you were buried in the ground instead of attending this college.

Question
I wouldn't trade myPolitical Science
I wouldn't trade my experience with Newberry. It was the perfect fit, for me. I feel it prepared me, on numerous levels, for my future. Grad School is my next goal, i.e. Economics, Public Policy & Administration, or an MBA.

Question
This is by far the worst decision IQuite BrightAutomotive Engineering
This is by far the worst decision I have ever made to come to Newberry College. It is a WASTE of money, time, and energy. The administration gives absolutely no concern for their students. All the faculty worry about is money going into their pockets. I pay nearly 5000 for food that has laxatives and at least one person is known to get sick or feel completely nauseous at every meal. I pay 5000 for a dormitory that is DISGUSTING no matter what, and just to get into a dorm worth the money I would pay, it costs 8000. Not to mention the money: The help you receive to get an education literally drops astoundingly every year. After your freshman year, once they get you, you're essentially irrelevant. They spend all their money on beautifying the campus and paying for athletes to waste money in the book store free of charge along with their full rides, while other students the academic kids are scrounging around in couches with 2 jobs just looking for pennies to pay for this RECENTLY accredited college. Phenomenally disappointed in this institution. I thought college was about EDUCATION. Turns out it's just a business to suck the lives and futures out of ignorant high school graduates.
