Small class sizes with good ratios of students to teachers and so many ways to transfer to universities if you're so inclined. Programs are top-rate, and tuition is really cheap.

Both campuses are close together in a beautiful wilderness landscape. Loads of amenities like the stadium, gym and theatre, and transit is a piece of cake with a U-Pass.

This is a great school and I can't say enough good things about my experience here.
