Small Population, Close Community
Small school size, benefits of a close campus and very walkable with many amenities. Departments are generally very small and can be limited by their expertise. Very benefiting to making close connections with advisors, small class sizes. Never had much difficulty getting the classes I wanted. Many opportunities to work and research. Options to work on campus in many fields and conduct research with campus support.
