Good reviews
Overall 4
You only take one class at a time! Also professor's actually care here. They do not think you are just a number. They want to help you succeeded!
Bad reviews
Overall 1.5
The low quality level of students admitted is a shame for this otherwise high quality school. The professors range from lovely to nightmarish to work with. The meal plan in the dorms (an all you can eat; you have no choice) absolutely sucks. $1700 for four months of food even when you're super tiny... not good.

Great school for becoming a teacher, along with equestrian science. Do not recommend living on campus, as the services they provide for you are terrible. The wifi has improved but almost every night will randomly become bad. Dillon is a very depressing area with little to do, if you like depressing desert towns for college this would be the place.
