USIU TIMES

If I had to rate USIU I would rate it 8/10. my experience so far has been good overall. What I enjoy most is the classroom interactions with the class and the lecturer. I also like the diversity of religions, cultures, and overall personalities. Some of my dislikes are they don't have a vast variety of food at the University. I would gladly recommend it.

University and Friendships

The college experience for me was the greatest platform to create friendships with not only fellow student but with professors too. The university staff was intentional in interacting with students, in class and outside class. The university organized events that made these interactions possible and easy. This was one of the best things in my campus life
