Campus Resources: They have great technical resources, but as far as physical items and people, their resources are limited.
Campus Resources: Sometimes the wifi network lags, but as far as the computer labs they are all new with the windows eight.
Student Body: The student body is so bubbly and lively, whenever there are activities, such as athletic events or anything else, the majority of the student body is always active and showing up to support their peers in whatever events they are participating in.
