As a freshman at BUA, what makes this school truly stand out is it's community.

We, as students, have tons of opportunities and resources available thanks to the amazing faculty. Would not have chosen to go anywhere else.

Our daughter just started at BUA and she is having a great time. The teachers are even better than we thought, they make the boring stuff interesting, and my STEM kid is loving her English and History classes. Work load is not small, but manageable. The small size of the school also allows her the o...
