AVOID this institution! They will rob you for your money and set you for failure. The instructors here "BS" a lot on the work and then blame you for it. I think this school is running a scheme on people. They literally make you fail. This school is really not worth going. Choose another school. You'll regret it like many others & I do!

I was lied to upon admission about the program in which I was interested. I felt like I was in a babysitting facility, not a place for higher education. The nearby community colleges are less expensive and better quality than this place.
Overall 1.7
this school is a waste of time.
