"Our tour guide was amazing. He answered every weird, worried parent question my dad had. He was funny, welcoming and easy to talk to. My dad and I enjoyed our visit thanks to him!"

Dessa Johnston Excelsior Springs, Mo.

“We enjoyed the visit ve ry much and really like t he campus. E veryone was very friendly . It is not of t en that you can go on a campus visit to a public school and be treated like you were on a private sc hool visit (af ter 5 visits2 private sc hools and 3 state schools I feel I can make the c omparison) an that is how d it felt on Fr iday.�
