Loved it. Never regret my choice. Cares about students; indeed supportive (given the insane situation this spring semester--I think you all know what I'm talking about); amicable & accomodating atmosphere, I'd say that every faculty I meet in this campus wouldn't hesitate to give me a warm smile & ask "anything I can help?" whenever I need.
Overall 5
Nice school and great professors. Lots of research opportunities. Faculties with different talents and specialties that you will never be able to stop learning here.
