We have a newly completed, high budget Campus Center that functions as our student union and cafeteria. There is even a movie theater and game room in the basement.

Some of the students are openly political, and will write or advertise websites or protests in chalk on the sidewalks or with flyers or posters.

Most of my classmates were responsible students that took their education seriously and acted on the level unionism (as a whole).

Some are over achievers and some are laid back.

most are focused on their goals, especially getting accepted into graduate or professional school.
