Unique Opportunities The E* Trade Financial Learning Center provides students with a unique classroom environment:
a real-time, simulated trading and financial center where they have the opportunity to learn about the principles of investing and money management and replicate real-world situations.
Campus Life and Student Activities Two new residence halls, opened in the fall 2006, help to meet the growing student demand for a 24-hour a day, 7-day a week campus experience. The expansion of residential spaces on campus is part of the creation of a learning village where student interaction, creativity, and community-building continues throughout the day and evening, inside and outside of the classroom.
