This school checks most marks. It’s a great location, and the school really puts effort into creating a space for everyone socially. Recitations are really useful in big lecture classes, and there are plenty of opportunities to get help with classes when needed. I have had a great experience so far

I love it here. I've never been able to express myself until I got to college and now I feel like I truly can grow as a person. Sometimes the internet wants to not work with you, but that's pretty much my only complaint. The professors here are incredibly smart and most of them are super helpful. It's a great environment and I can't wait for more!

If you come to this campus plan on knowing how to do the job of the staff and teacher better than they do. I have been going to this school for 2 years and I can't find one person that knows what their job is nor how to advise you through a semester. With tuition that is more than Harvard and most faculty help of a Mcdonals. Pick a different place.
