I think this school could fit anyone. It is such a large school but at the same time it feels small. I believe anyone can find there place on this campus and enjoy and succeed at anything they want.

It's a state school and anyone can attend the school. There are people of all backgrounds and the school is in a perfect location where hiking, winter sports and other physical activities are accessable.
