They are more concerned about how much money they can sucker out. Not enough professors in the science dept., so when there is one is gone, no one to replace. Their replacement for chem. was someone who can barely speak and write English. 1/2 the class dropped, the rest of who need this class were told to get tutors or find a friend to teach us.

Worst University on the face of this planet.

They offer very few online classes, except for business classes. They don't offer all the classes they list in the catalog per semester selected. Their advisors don't even know how to add classes online or give advice period.
Overall 1
Advisors have no clue when you ask for any advice on classes. Highly defensive behavior when asking questions. The staff acts threatened when you question grading, then attempt to question plagiarism in defense of questions. Many are not trained in teaching and lack ability to instruct period. They act hypocritically and selectively.

When compared to other colleges, this school doesnt stand a chance. They may sugar coat your experience and campus visit but it has run down facilities and they should improve there professors. This town is growing but still doesnt offer much so there's nothing to do here. Its a small school so everyone will know youre business and not in a goodway

People drink TOO much, there really is nothing else to do. It's super cold. The food is expensive and gross, nothing healthy either. It's not a bad town, but things do get around at the drop of a hat. Administration is a MESS w/ hidden charges.. and really unorganized. People are usually pleasant, but clueless.
