What are your general comments?

I really really really loved the faculty here. The students were kinda eh compared to NSU / WesternU where I recently interviewed. They were just like "blah... yeah it's all good here.." If only there was a school with the faculty from Iowa, Facilities and campus from NSU, and location in California..... Man that would be perfect.
