@ Elizabeth. 2 season weather. This university is the best kept secret. I started coming here in '09 and I love it. There is always parking and you are never more than a few minutes away from any class wherever you park. The student to teacher ratio is great and they have some new buildings including the new state of the art library. Awesome, just awesome!
