Top-Quality Education and Great Campus Environment
The academic environment is supportive, and most of my professors have been approachable and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. There are strong research opportunities if you take the initiative, and the campus feels welcoming and collaborative. Overall, it�s been a great place to grow both academically and professionally.
Mentorship in an interdisciplinary PhD
As a graduate student pursuing an interdisciplinary PhD, I'm very pleased with the course work and mentorship. The professors are engaging and thoughtful, the campus is well-maintained, and the courses are interesting and relevant.
Quieter campus, serious academics
It's a nice school especially if you are the studious type. It's a small campus and most things are closed on the weekends so it is pretty dead. The parties are pretty small and do not get very crazy. Pretty rigorous academically especially for STEM students
