Mikaela Jarman Student at This School - Grad Year 2015
The academics is at a perfect balance. I've always struggled with getting everything done when it's due, and for the most part I still do. However, I find time to get everything done still allowing time left over to spend time with friends and go to my job.
Affan Zulfiqar Student at This School - Grad Year 2016
Lots of very educated professors who know what they're teaching, and lots of experienced programs of study.
