What Students Are Saying

Most class sizes are small, with about 30 students per class. There is only one lecture hall on campus, but it is still small compared to some other universities. Many teachers are extremely helpful, and want their students to succeed in their classes. However, expect to put in effort to pass your classes.
Ken from Beverly Hills, CA
It is certainly different than High School that's for sure. You are at the next level for education expectations and that will enable you to acquire skills that you can apply in a variety of ways throughout life. Although you are at liberty to set your own schedule, you are also held to higher expectations from your professors. Coursework is challenging and you have to be motivated.
