Visit Activities:


Admissions Interview: No - Out there a ways from the rest of the world, but seems to have everything available close by (shopping etc.)

Information Session: Yes - Pretty generic - same ole, same ole

Campus Tour: Yes - Good looking school, lots of history and tradition, new construction in many locations. Old buildings all seem to have been updated and new ones are top notch. They kind of oversell the spirit thing.

You can't get there easily by public transportation of any kind - maybe by bus but it still leaves you far from campus
