What Students Are Saying

I always feel like I am being challenged in my classes. Especially since they are all small sized classrooms (all of my classes have no more than 15 students) so I feel more connected with the professor and the professor clearly tries to benefit the student in any way possible through the rigorous work. Lecture hall classes are the only huge class sizes, but the professors are still there to help you after class and during their office hours if the coursework is a little too challenging for you.

Classes are as challenging and fulfilling as you make them. Because There are some students that have a harder time learning, and as a result some 101 courses seem to drag on and repeat basic information. Professor and T.As (teachers assistants, google it) are really responsive to the energy put in by the students; enthusiasm and asking questions are a plus.
