The facilities are beautiful and the number of student-run organizations is amazing!

That there is a good amount of downtime during the day. But they treat applicants really well.

This was my first interview and I'm really grateful that it was so laid back and everyone at the school was so friendly. I love the school but the location leaves something to be desired in my mind.
