I like this school a lot. It is big but the class sizes are just like high school. It has everything you could ever need.

The teachers seem to be very knowledgeable about their class subjects and generally care about their student's success. The tuition costs are very good for the education and there aren't any crazy hidden fees. The college also has many clubs and opportunities for student involvement.
