Student Responses to Review Topic: Am I Enjoying Being Here

  • Elaina from Oceanside, CA
  • Dec-28-2011 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    Campus is inviting and very beautiful. Is near a party-scene area but does not have a party-school feel. Most students are welcoming and accommodating but not over-friendly
