Awesome school. Like any school, it has its problems, but there are definitely more positives than negatives. Amazing faculty and staff, great people, cool courses, nice dorms, beautiful campus. And the top of the hill has a great view. Could improve on some of the administrative decisions.

Student-teacher ratio is very great! You get so much individualized attention. It is great to know that your professors know your name. Most of my professors have their PhD and some even spoke different languages. The community aspect is very obvious and the way they nurture you to be successful is quite powerful. I could not ask for a better schoo

The school is small, run down, and basically a home for high school athletes that could get a scholarship anywhere else.

It's an OK campus I like that my classes are close but I prefer to have more clubs, more ministry activities, and teachers that know how to teach especially for chemistry
