What an amazing school with the best people! I do not understand why anyone would not give full stars to AUSB. There are no exams, you get hands on learning experience from amazing professors, the international students expose you to culture and diversity, and the location is AH-MEH-ZINGG. Its an expensive school but on the BA level, so worth it!
Overall 4.7
I shopped all schools in the area, including the new Pepperdine branch in Santa Barbara, and I was the most impressed by what Antioch is doing. Applied and experimental learning. Expert instructors/small class size. School focus on social justice, and sharpening critical thinking. An exceptionally progressive, and challenging education experience.

I wish I would have used my money to go to a better known and legitimate university. The professors always end class early (I want the full amount of time for the full amount of money I pay), we only meet ten times a quarter, there are zero tests, barely any homework, no real work at all. I feel like I'm being home-schooled, and left behind.
