The communication and accessibility of professors and university staff is exceptional. Any anxieties/concerns I have expressed to staff have been addressed in a timely and helpful manner. The school is affordable but still provides top tier education and experiences. I have experienced some professors who did not meet my standards, but the outstanding professors I have taken courses with provide good balance.
