Great school and happy to be a student here. Professors knows there material. They are helpful, fun, respectful, and very supportive. They always offer extra help in case you miss a topic. There is also a tutoring center that helps the students. The buildings have all the necessary equipment for teachers to work and students to learn.

just bad

"Belongingness" is not something I experienced socially, college club wise and opportunity wise. Unfortunately, some stellar students are held back from blossoming in certain opportunities due to discrimination. Some students get promoted to things like leadership positions and "student spotlights" while others aren't despite being stellar students
