Also to keep in mind the goals of the future at all times and learn from the mistakes of the past. Finally, to remember that time is both a friend and foe, be wary.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    Best thing about the school will always be the diversity of religion, culture and way of life. Although it's a Jesuit school, it accomodates everyone equally, matter fact, it has a muslim prayer space! I like the school but I detest the space area. I do not appreciate the very thight spaces. But thinking about it, being that it's a school in a major city, they are a decent size. When I tell my friends that I go to this school, they simply nod or give me a oh. It is not a big school (attention-wise). It's an 'ohh' school -- respectable and decent. On campus, I spend most of my time in the recreation center swimming, playing basketball, pool or ping pong. This is a very proud school but we take our pride a bit too far. Proof: our mascot's a peacock! I find that funny. It makes the school unusual since I can walk up to my friends and boldly flaunt my pretty peacockiness. The one experience that I will always definitely remember is the freshmen orientation. They are too well welcoming. The most frequent complaint would always be about the dorming aspect. Unfortnately, I can give out only a little detail about that since I commute! Commuting to the city is a quality experience!
