  • Oct-31-2011 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    I visited this campus last year and it was beautiful! The only thing that would make it better if it was slightly larger-attendance wise.

    I love it here. I love the classes, the people, the town, and the campus. The campus is small enough so that you can never get lost, but big and intricate enough so that if you want to be alone, you can. Danville is small, with not a whole lot of attractions, but nothing beats a midnight Walmart run with friends! ;D
