Overall the college seems awesome. It's relatively new (started in the 60's) so the campus and the classrooms are all neat and clean with modern buildings. 10 minutes or so from the beach and nearby tourist attractions. Not to mention the countless research opportunities that were discussed in the info. sessions.
