Great faculty with small classes. A unique college that produces highly sought after graduates. And if you don't have job offers pouring in, the alumni network will garuntee a job.

Never EVER go to this Institute. They will destroy your life. Very cold. Not a good education/lecture and demand. Why waste the prime of your life attending such a desolate place. Go to a college and have a real learning experience. Too many other great schools. Watch their favortism single sanction so called honor code. Be very careful! Warning
