The quality of education, by far. Small class sizes and experienced professors do a great job of teaching their subjects in a way that isn't so much a lecture hall style, "talking at you," sort of way, but rather in a small gorup discussion, "talking to you," kind of way.

My school is a dry campus. It makes it very easy to avoid situations where alcohol will be present if that is your desire.

The campus itself is the best feature about the school.

I love the location. We're placed perfectly in the middle between Chicago and Milwaukee, which makes visiting either city incredibly easy. As a theatre major, it means that we can go to see shows more often than if we were farther away because the drive is easier.

Once you find a decent job, you can go back and get your masters even!
