the class sizes are small and the professors are extremely helpful and go out of their way to provide explanations and assistance. i found the whole school to be very friendly and helpful from president to security officer.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

if you need help ask. try to learn about as many resources as you can as early as you can. start a study group in every class and get to know other students.
