What Students Are Saying
"The best part has definitely been the close community of fellow CSB peers, inside of classrooms (lectures, discussions, pods, etc.) and outside of classrooms (working on projects, group studying, eating together, etc.)."
"I love the group of friends it creates! Everyone is so smart and driven that it is great relaxing and working together on projects."
"...the close-knit cohort. I really like that I can be close friends with every person in the program."
"The best part of Texas CSB has definitely been the welcoming community and close-knit group of peers. I've found every member of TX CSB to be fun to hangout with as well as extremely helpful. Additionally, being a part of the larger Canfield BHP community has also been very rewarding and given me lots of opportunities to succeed as a student and make friends."
"I really enjoy the classes on both sides, business and CS. The small classroom environment makes it so much more interactive and better for learning. I enjoy the community of students, both in TX CSB and in Canfield BHP. They are all so ambitious, and it motivates me to do my best."
