I love it here.

An incredible American institution with a highly developed alumni network that wants to help students in any way possible. The campus is gorgeous, full of mature trees and rolling hills. Many buildings are new, and the dorms are very historic. Classes are great, small class sizes, a truly unique education for a man.

Great teachers and a social life with activities for everyone. The school has changed the food provider, so don't listen to past reviews calling it bad. Teachers challenge you, but you will be fine if you do the work.

Students here can be really homophobic and discriminatory. Be careful about how much you let them know. There is a lot of alcohol on campus, and underage drinking runs rampant. again, be careful if you come here.
