Since it's a private school it is expensive, but impossible to get. The teacher-student ratio is low so you get much more attention than you would at a public school. We just got a new gym which is really nice. There are lots of new indoor facilities to play sports. We also just got wireless internet connection all over campus, but if you don't have a laptop there are lots of computers you can use all over campus. read full review
