Student Quotes
"I did wish I was somewhere else at first, but two years here has eased those thoughts. For an arts degree, the classes are good because they are small, but socially, the school is very weak."
"Would I take it back? No. Do I regret it in some ways? Yes. That’s just the way life is, though. You never get it perfect, and you have to take what you get and make the best of it. My biggest piece of advice for someone coming here is that if you don’t think this school offers you what you’re looking for, go somewhere else. Don’t come here and pick the next best thing. Sure, you’ll learn a lot, but if you stay here longer than a year before transferring, you’re stuck here."
