We have a fierce loyalty for our basketball team, and it is a rallying point for many students. We also have a fairly diverse school in its student body and our interests. We are also a fairly liberal campus, and every opinion is heard, if you want it to be. We have so many opportunites for students that many not have had those chances otherwise. We have a very strong staff of professors and counsellors.
