Average Rating
I'm a first year here and it has been great so far. I'm part of the soccer team and although practice is extremely intense, the students here make you feel welcome. The orientation programs are helpful towards the schools mission and what to expect on the path of success.
Jorge from CA
Small classes are great so that students have personal time with the teacher.
The attendance policy keeps students in line and attending classes.
The buildings are close together so it is not far to walk between in the cold winter.
