You feel will feel God around you the second you step on this campus. This school was the biggest blessing in my life, and a place where I felt so at peace. I met the most incredible people here and had friendships with teachers who continuously showed me God's grace and helped me grow as a person each and every day. I can't say enough.

Awesome professors, small class sizes for one-on-one attention, great networking & connections, amazing food catered by Bon Apetit, tons of opportunities & activities. What more could you ask for? Located in sunny southern California (20 minutes for Disneyland!) with ALL THE BOBA you could drink! :D

My friends and I call this school depression university for a reason. People are more cliquey than in high school, and if you aren't exactly like everybody else, you won't fit in.
