I love how everything is indoors, but there is plenty of beauty outside as well and opportunities to walk to classes outside. I enjoy the pride this school has and how much effort they've put into incorporating that into new students. Staff are very knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. Overall its been a good experience so far.
