    While the tuition and parking are expensive, you certainly get what you are paying for. The campus is excellent, always clean and the buildings are kept up to date and comfortable. The classes provide all the technology necessary for a wonderful learning experience. The reputation of the University is also tremendous, this school is known around the world and has staff helping in places like Israel, Switzerland, and Japan.
