Overall 4.7
Loved my time at Urban! It has a very diverse student body (all walks of life! Age, ethnicity, religion, orientation, you name it) which I really appriciated. It was my main campus for 2 years, and I feel like I grew tremendously as a person while attending. It has a Subway in the main building, and is just north of downtown DSM. Faculty is great!
