My ability to be in the city. I have the advantage of having opportunities on and off campus and I can take classes at other colleges in the area but receive credit for them at my home institution.

Marianne

Easy to access the cultural events happening throughout the city.

Becca

The city is amazing. There is so much to do, and so many places to go right on campus. The campus is pretty small and easy to get around, and it's easy to get off-campus to do other things. It's really easy to get involved in things, and the school offers many options to get involved with, but you have to take the intiative to do something once you sign up for it
