"Having an apartment/house and the freedom to live without supervision is wonderful. The class environment is the best! Teachers show that they care and dedicate themselves to their students. All of my teachers know me by name and love catching up in passing. You'll never get that at a big school." Augustana College Student Review, CollegeProwler.com
