Samuel

Freshman · Computer Science

The staff are expectional. The amount of support that you recieve from the professors and the staff are well beyond what I can imagine. The class size is very small compared to where I came from. The smallest is around 6. The largest is 24 not including lecture halls. Most of the lectures are small. The size varies among your major. The homework load varies among professors. There are long breaks but the school session are short. Excellent school! Plenty of activites to do around campus.
