Academics
Completion is the problem here: 0% graduate within six years. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body is just 47, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
