Great college overall, the teachers are great and most have an extensive background and their field of study. Have made lots of friends here and will continue to enjoy our lasting relationships. The school is laid out well although takes some walking to get to your classes at times.

The small town feel is great! I met some interesting people from many different places. There is a nice sized shopping mall, a variety of dining choices as well as several lakes nearby...and Dallas is only a short drive away.
