What did you like most about the campus?
It was very nice and clean it looked like a great place to come and study. There was a lot of extra tutoring so if you need help with any class you can go visit certain people. The Flags from all nationalities of the students they have studying at campus; it was a great thing to see, it makes you feel your nationality is appreciated.
