The professors here are... The professors here are outstanding in their fields. The small classes really provide a conducive environment for learning and interacting with the professor (not a TA). The students are generally friendly, but there is an overall feeling of apathy regarding school spirit. Perhaps this is because many students are busy studying for his or her challenging curriculum. But can you have fun and make some of the best friends you will ever have here? Most definitely! 12345 Overall Experience: March 27, 2009 Report
