(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I like it here, the people are okay and the teachers are semi-supportive.
The only thing I don't like is the way the classes change after each semester. It forces the students to rush through a class, you can't learn all you need to in 18 weeks, especially in a math or science class.
