The overall atmosphere and attitude of students. The friends that I have. the support I receive from most professors.

There are tons of classes to choose from, and the professors will help you if you need it (although sometimes they take a little while getting back to you about a time). You can ride the buses to any of the surrounding neighborhoods and districts practically for free - the fee is included in fees and tuition per semester.

There are tons of people and classes are based on relevant material to the workforce. There is very little "busy work".
