It's a school with a great work-life balance and a really diverse community. The teachers are very supportive of your academic endeavors, and they assign a reasonable amount of homework each night. Most people are collaborative, rather than competitive, which I felt gave me more motivation to perform better on a daily basis. Overall a great experience.
