REVIEWS
Read What Students Are Sayingthe school AIC is great. it is small which makes it easier to get around campus and for teachers to get to know you on a personal level. the area of Springfield that the school is placed in isn't very safe but the campus police make sure its safe on campus.
Sofia from Mass
This college is quite diverse and fit for an individual looking for a small school to fit in. small classes and lot of attention from professors
