I had such close relationships with my teachers and administrators due to the size of my school. I started undergrad with 25 college credits due to the opportunities it provided me with.

It is a smaller school, which has its pros and cons. It is great because it allows for a very tight-knit school community, and everyone is very connected.

We are very energetic, but if we had been a bigger school we might have had more of an influential student section. Overall though, an amazing school to go to.
