Read What Students Are SayingA small college. You get to meet new people and learn new things. USM is a good school to start at.
Kenny from Reno, NV
The campus is amazing if you are looking for a small hands on school to help you further your education and even your athletic game this is the place for you. The school is very small but that works out to your own benefit with school work.
