The campus is beautiful and the community is strong and very welcoming! The courses are diverse, challenging and interesting! Students, faculty and staff have great relationships for the most part, the culture on campus is very live-and-let-be. I feel privileged to call this campus home!

I didn't like it there.

COA is a very small college and can be a bit claustrophobic at times. As with most colleges, it's quite leftist-socialist-"woke" to the max. Not a whiff of anything else. Yup, it's quite the echo chamber of that type of nonsense. Sorry I went here.
Overall 1.5
Not much learning but lots of hand holding.
