Pros and Cons

Small university - it's more like a college experience. There are pros and cons. You can get to know profs but the social scene and amenities are limited compared to bigger school. Good for people who do better in smaller crowds and are anxious. The campus view is beautiful overlooking the ocean and mountains.

Passionate; to me it was more personal based; I was passionate about what i was studying, I had no worries about anything particular but just my passion.
