What Recent Grads Say See All 9 Comments >

-The small cohort size added a degree of intimacy. Over the two years, we really got to know each other and learned how to work together in such a close environment. Have professors be a bit more focused instead of trying to combine a number of different topics. When classes are only 8 weeks, moving too fast keeps you from retaining what they are teaching you.
