    It is a great school! Close community, pretty well oriented within the community via businesses, families, individuals, etc. The curriculum is academically challenging, but there various resources to help with that. The professors are pretty understanding as well as all of the staff.
    The academics are challenging. You will have to put in a significant amount of work to do well here, but you will graduate ahead of your peers. Your professors all know you by name and truly care about you. Additionally, there are great opportunities for internships including grants for students in unpaid internships. Saint A's has some of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met. This place is special-- you won't regret making it your home.
