Very unique campus that is settled on an Island. There are nearby coffee shops to study and get together. The campus itself is having some ongoing developments and upgrades to facilities and other buildings. The student life and culture around the university is something other universities don't have. Overall, really great school to go.

    My very first day on campus was filled with so much wonder and this euphoria of opportunity to take the world by storm. My first steps on campus was as if I was discovering a new world where I could begin to lay the foundation for my success. I specifically remember surrounding myself with the right people that day.
