I really love this place and is an excellent transition from high school to a larger university.
Overall 4.4
Very safe and beautiful campus. Full of nice hangout spots and amazing staff. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, but not many options.
Overall 4.3
I absolutely LOVE this college! The instructors and staff are very helpful and polite. Most importantly, I LOVE my adviser- Judy Howell. If it wasn't for her, then I would have never made it this far in college. She is such a inspiration and keeps me on track. Plus, the tuition is fairly lower than most colleges and we offer many opportunities. :)

Absolutely the worst. No help to be found. The president acts like kid,but he never misses a photo opportunity.
