It's a very nice school with good facilities and good teachers. They are very good at engaging their student and including the dorm kids in the American culture. The dorms are great and all the dorm parents are very nice. They are always ready to help with whatever you need. It's been a great experience for me and it has developed me a lot as a person.

School is very nice filled with good people who help you with your academics and other stuff. Dorms are the best in the world and I couldn't imagine better place to live. People here are so nice and dorm parents.
