The classes are great, the professors are great, the students are a unique bunch and if it weren't for the freshmen making poor choices, there would be nothing wrong with this school.

best liberal arts college in america set in the most beautiful place in the world
Overall 4.1
The most beautiful campus I have ever seen. It feels unique & home-y instead of cold/academic. Class sizes are small & professors really care about you as long as you put in some minimal effort of caring as well. The food could be better but it isn't bad. No one has heard of it, but if you say you went to Uni in Tahoe everyone is impressed/jealous

The food can be a little...interesting, to put it nicely. As it is with most schools. But the campus is beautiful and you couldn't ask for a better location if you don't mind being off the beaten path. They offer some really unique majors and a great interactive learning experience. The school is a bit expensive, but the financial aid is great.

You couldn't pick a better place to go to school. You get a great education, with teachers who actually care and you can snowboard/ski whenever. It is pretty much a "hippie" school but it's great. The staff and student body are nice and always willing to help. Plus Lake Tahoe is a walk away.. Who wouldn't want that?

Nothing good about this college. It is a place for problem children to ski and get high.
Overall 1.7
All the students are depressed and the food is horrible. There are a lot of issues that the administration try to cover up, if youre a chick you will almost definitely get assaulted
