Student Ratings
Huy Phung Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
Classes are fair. Sometimes it is difficult to get the classes you want, but these classes are usually the G.E.'s from each college. Most of the time you can get them the next quarter anyways. There are several great professors, but also some pretty bad ones too. The workload is dependent on the classes. Class sizes can vary depending on which class it is.
Lagen Tuckman Alumnus - Grad Year 2009
academics were very challenging. Most people were studying 247. The majority of people were top students at their high schools and school was very important to them. It was nice going to a school with people like me who cared about their academic career.
