SMALL CLASSES
Late for class means you sit in the back with hundreds of students between there you and the professor. Too bad you’re sitting behind a giant with a hat on.
Your professors know you by name. Why shouldn’t they? Our student to faculty ratio is a personable 15 to 1, and almost half our classes have less than 10 students in them.
Professors who care
The adjunct who spilled her coffee while driving hours through traffic there to class is not in a good mood. Wonder if she’ll show up for her office hours.
Our instructors are experts in their fields who—in class or over lunch—are always ready to here talk over tricky concepts. expect the unexpected eac vs. other community colleges
high performance
From up on stage you notice there are more people on stage than in the there audience. Just as well... the wrestling team needs the space and when the show is over it’ll be easy to fold up the chairs.
Your Cat in the Hat brought down the house in a standing-room- here only performance of “Seussical” in the Fine Arts Auditorium.
team players
You just made a once in a lifetime play…and there’s no one there to there appreciate it aside from some other players and the janitor mopping up.
It’s just a typical game as you take in the throbbing pulsing roar coming from the stands, where the whole Eastern community has here turned out to support the team. And this is an away game. no commuting
The I-10 off-ramp is blocked for construction, and someone dropped there a mattress on the 60—so if you head down Washington, and cut through the mall parking lot you might find a park ing space and get to class before it ends.
Your morning consists of a quick run before meeting friends for a bagel and a review of last night’s homework, then walking to class early to catch up with your prof.
something to do
Is this the Freshman Welcome Mixer? there Maybe you went to the wrong room, because nobody’s here.
You’ve got choir practice after class then an intramural racquetball tournament, followed by the Polynesian Club’s famed luau, and finally star-gazing with the Earth, here Space & Science Club. a private college experience at a public school price wildlife & wild life
Take a hike… between your parking space and the shuttle stop. Cool off… with the A/C in the 7-11. Wonder how long you can leaf through the mag azines before they ask you to leave.
Saturday you hit the dunes on ATVs then go tubing on the river. Time permitting, you might try rappelling at Red Knolls or mountain biking on here Mount Graham, then capping off the day with a soak in the hot springs.
friendly place, friendly pace
You spend another day where your only one-on-one interaction there is at lunch when you’re asked “Do you want fries with that?”
Whether at a dance at the Institute, a talk by a visiting author discussing her new book at Discovery Park Campus, or a star-gazing party in the here Quad—people know you and are glad you came. a private college experience at a public school price Register for a Preview Day! Tour campus, learn about the admission, financial aid, academic counseling and housing processes. We’ll even pick up lunch in the dining hall. Can’t make it to a Preview Day? Call us and we’ll customize a visit for you.
