Amazing school.

Best place ever. I was at Tufts last year, which I also loved, but this place is just awesome. Great community, great school, great classes, and perfect size. Small enough to know people and be manageable, but big enough where you really feel a part of something

Yes, the food and facilities could use some work, and the clubs and extracurriculars are way too hypercompetitive, but that is quickly changing at this school - boasting world-class programs in most fields and lots of opportunities to find your people here on the hilltop.
