Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: A student body of roughly 2,500 keeps classes small and conversational, with many courses offering hands-on lab work and one-on-one mentorship. Campus life mixes competitive Division III sports with dozens of student clubs, so weekends can swing from a buzzing soccer match to a quiet study session in the library.
Kohokohdat: Hundreds of students gather some evenings under about 120 warm string lights, the air rich with roasted coffee and acoustic music that turns the quad into an intimate outdoor living room. Alumni and students quietly slip handwritten notes into library books, adding dozens of messages each year that surprise late-night readers with advice, jokes, and names that span four decades.
