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.
