It's a great school if you have the drive to do make it through yourself. Academic Advisors were not always readily available and I felt that I had to figure out a lot of things on my own. However, the friendships and connections that I made while attending this intuition are ones that last a lifetime. Although it is not necessarily cheap to attend, it is manageable.
