There was a fairly robust (but, in my opinion, underutilized) career center. There is a network of alumns who students can contact regarding various fields (i.e. if you think you want to go to law school you can contact an alumn in the network and talk to them about their career).

Great! They renovated the dining hall my second year and it's beautiful (and lots of good food!). The dorms are also nice compared to others - spacious and also many recently-renovated.

A capella groups were as popular as Greek life is at other schools. Drama and the arts are all popular, unsurprisingly. Sports were also a focus for many students, though not like in a Division 1 school.
