What people say about us

Leonardo Pivanti, 15, Italy

“I really like that classrooms have all new desks, boards and projectors. The location of the university has a lot of green and is close to nature with lots of places to play football, volleyball and basketball. It’s a close walk to the town as well. I really love the vintage dining room and tithe barn especially the piano.”
