Go Retrievers!

Its great academic standing.

the short walks to class.

I don't brag about my school.

The housing is really great in my opinion. The dorms are suite-styled and have a bathroom for every four people! So I enjoy the fact there is no communal showering. The floors being co-ed also allow for you to meet many different people. The campus is small, but it's just the right size. Everywhere you need to go is within good walking distance. Parking permits are free if you need a car, and freshman can park on campus as well!
