§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $22k/yr for a shot at a $43k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

If you get in

1,885 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

City campus — public transit, off-campus food, weekends happen nearby.
