Jacqueline from North Andover, MA
Every week, each class would introduce new and comprehendable material which is fun and educational. Most classes are discussion based and open to free speech as long as it is on topic. It also teaches you life skills ouside of the classrooms such as work studies and independence from home.
TC from New Haven, CT
You definitely learn a lot. This is a small school, and for the most part, the professors here are interested in helping their students learn the subjects that they teach. They always have office hours or you can send an email and get a response in the same day. Really good college for learning your stuff.
