All the staff here are very friendly and are willing to take time out of their busy day to help you. If you get lost on this campus you can easily go up to a worker and ask them for directions. The professors here are very nice. They give you their cell phone number so that you can reach them if you have a question. Even the food staff are friendly, they always say hi and ask how you are doing. It is so pleasant to have see so many friendly people.
