    What to do for fun

    The school offers numerous scholarship opportunites from large companies. The school has events posted and emailed to students through the website. You can always go to the beach if you'd like, eat out and walk around.

    Food and Dining

    The school only offers a truck that comes by to the three campuses. The truck serves a variety of food but specializes in hispanic. The school is close to the beach so you can always go eat there.

    Dorm Life

    The dorm life is only meant for incoming freshmen. Campus owned dorms are not open to higher grades. Apartments must be rented and do not belong to the school.

    Academic Rigor

    The school offers a wide variety of majors. The school allows students to pursue their art-style of choice. The school has a fairly strong work load that will keep you busy.

    Tips for prospective students

    Its not the school, but what you do with the education. Ultimately you decide your own success. The students are friendly and the staff is quite helpful and small, so be nice. Always network when you have the opportunity to.

    In three sentences

    It's a great school for people who are interested in small classes with the focus on the students. The classes work you as hard as any other school and fun to take. The school is located near the beach, also allowing you to walk around the surrounding paths.

    BEACH n SURF!! X)

    Food and Dining

    The school itself doesn't have this, but it is close to town to grab a bite.

    Dorm Life

    Dorms were few, but very nice. Other housing would be apartments.

    Academic Rigor

    The classes that I sat in on were very informative and interesting.

    In three sentences

    The school had a small student body, so it seemed like you were able to talk to the teachers more. It was in a great location, just up the road from town. It was a small campus so no stress on rushing to classes.

    Bang for the buck

    Expensive, but worth every dollar! If you believe your future is worth $25,000 a year then invest..I believe my future is worth all the student debt I can occur and cutting economic corners is for the lesser.

    Food and Dining

    Vending machines on campus, food truck visit, but its a short 10 min to get quick food around the area.

    Dorm Life

    Off campus living is always better!

    Academic Rigor

    Small classes 15 or less, professor and classmates are like a boss & workers in the real world. Meaning there is equal respect for all level of talents and skills. Professors know you by name & one on one help is always encouraged.

    Tips for prospective students

    I am one! put serious and professional effort into your application portfolio, as if you are giving it to Donald Trump! It will pay off because they award merit-scholarships to the best portfolios. I got one for $5,000 with my letter of acceptance!
