This school will provide you with a plethora of resources, and highly qualified professors. Mount Pleasant is a pleasant town (quite small), but is close to Iowa City which is globally diverse due to presence of the state university and one of the US's most renowned hospitals. The cost of tuition was worth it, as what I gained is priceless.

Small campus that has lost it's way. Poor faculty, poor facilities, god-forsaken redneck town with nothing going for it It was cheap, but you get what you pay for. I have left it.
