What Students Are Saying
It is a small, friendly college that has pretty good academics. The professors are nice, and the administration is always helpful. It is a big enough college to have a social life, but small enough that you can avoid people too!
Student
The professors are actually caring and one on one service is always provided. Everyone cares for each other. No one is alone.
