“I love USI’s affordable, close‑knit campus and how easy it is to get involved in Homecoming, SpringFest, and over 100 clubs, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the commuter‑heavy feel, the mid‑size‑town quiet outside campus, and how the slow change in facilities made the campus feel a bit behind for longer than the campus store ever let on.”
