ROOMING

• There's only two rules for housing, you have to stay on the same gendered sides and no holes or screws in the walls.
• A new Freshman building was build over the summer
• Levels of the dorms are decided by personality and skills. The college has a specific dorm for the sports players that's built by the sports feilds

• The Career center offers jobs at the college, internships, job interview help, and missionary credits.
• The school equipment seems really cool, also they have free printing!
• Everyone uses their own email accounts and the school has free wifi
• I love the buildings there because they're built to be old looking.

MY TOUR OF THE SCHOOL

• When I visited the college, everyone was already on summer break and only some faculty were there. When we visited the student center, no one was there but the room looked so cool! There were games everywhere.
• I didn't see the old dorms but, we saw the new freshman dorm. It had two stories and each hallway had 15 rooms and each room held three rooms for three students.

EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOOL

• For me, I think this school is perfect. It's small, the students connect with the teachers well, and they have amazing standards for scholarships.
• What I love most about the school is that the teachers work hard with you if you need help or need tutoring.
• What I don't like about the school is that it's hot there, they don't have a art program, and I'm further away from my family then I expected.
• I do see myself at this collage because I see myself at a small college that has teachers who help you on assignments. And additionally, they have a good tennis program.
