Campus and vibes

Current Student

The people here are truly just amazing. I have always felt welcome and included here, which is something that was severely lacking at my high school.

Current Student

It’s been interesting. I like it for the most part but sometimes it’s kinda crap. The food is really bad some days and good other days.

Current Student

Pretty good overall! The food is a hit or miss and tends to get repetitive, but they do have fun events in the dining halls.

Current Student

I love the general vibe of this school and how nice everyone is. The community is very trusting and welcoming.
