-Teachers are called by their first names
-There is no emphasis on their degree (Doctorate or Masters)
- Their paper and notebooks are longer...and they have 4 holes instead of 3
-The cafeteria is small and expensive...there are no "meal plans"
-There is hardly and International Program, there are only 4 students and they execute things very poorly
-There are no student events, it is up to you to entertain yourself
-They don't have Homecoming :( -You have to pay for printing
-There are few assignments and no exams
-The classes run on a pass/fail agenda
-It seems very self-taught. In class the students seem to have more power, but reading are not discussed, it is up to you to teach yourself the literature
-There are no general courses here...it is sort of like a "Tech School", they only offer Social Work and Nursing
-There is student housing, but not many students live there, it is a lot of older people
-You can have alcohol, candles, etc. in your room
-The rooms have their own sink
-You have class once a week, for a LONG time, and you get breaks every hour
-It is common to be older and attend college
All in all...the school is VERY DIFFERENT and absolutely NOT what I was expecting. It is a very hard adjustment to the schooling part of things (as well as everything else). The teachers are approachable but really expect you to do everything on your own. There aren't really like due dates...you basically just read and do everything yourself. Sort of frustrating when I am so used to deadlines and being very scheduled and structured all semester.
