What impressed you positively?

"Everyone at this school is so nice and down-to-earth. It seems like everyone is involved in clubs and community service, but no one complains about how much work they have to do as long as you budget your time wisely. The facilities are great despite edging on an almost okay neighborhood. Everyone seems to really care about the students and do everything in their power to help. The systems based learning seems pretty cool- no having to deal with 5+ subjects at the same time. Also, they have a dual D.O./M.B.A. program that is designed to be completed in four years (taking night/summer classes mostly)." Report Response
