    The extra-curricular activities make this school worthwile. You obviously get to meet new people and make new friends for a lifetime. joining clubs is a great oppurtunity to network. Plus it helps get your mind off struggles when you try different activities. There's a plethora of things to do. They even have time allotted for this called club hour. Its a period where you can go to the student union and play pool, grab a bite, or study in the library.

    Nassau is a great school, especially if you live close by. It's great to get the experience of going to a more diverse school that has so many different students, as well as majors. The classes are great- just make sure you keep up and do your homework.
