WHAT I LIKED

The administration is not the best, with lots of decisions being made that are in favor of the college and board of directors rather than the study body. However, the academics here are unmatched; I am very happy and satisfied with my education, however difficult it may be. Social life is good, with lots of opportunities to socialize and meet new people.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

Be aware that the majority of the students here are wealthy and caucasian; diversity is quite low, which makes it difficult for certain minority students to thrive as well. The administration also is very much focused on itself and on budget cuts more than on DEI.
