  • The education here is hands on/experiential and very much open for interpretation (which is great). For those who are willing to work hard, be creative, and push past the status quo of traditional learning, this will be a great fit. For those who want to solely go to class, study, get a grade, and somehow expect a job to be handed to you at graduation, this is definitely not the school for you. You have to knock down your own doors.
