Administration in the office very unhelpful and sometimes rude and facilities in dorms old and work poorly,
but a wonderful biology program and biology professors (2021-2022) are amazing. Staff however constantly changing. Housing is a big problem here, you get stuck with whatever is available. You pay a lot to be treated poorly. Students duller than on most other college campuses, and thats saying something.
Only thing keeping this from a one star is the biology professors I knew while going here.

Life in this community goes far beyond the classroom. The residential campus in the mountains provides a setting for development in both a personal and academic level. The traditions they have inspire civic engagement and serve as a reminder to respect the environment. You can interact with students, instructors, and staff through a variety of groups and activities, some of which, for me, might result in life long connections.
I like the "old school" feel of the college. The community of college students is terrific! Over all, a great school and great people in admissions to talk to.
