Great campus, great faculty, enjoy it so much!
Overall 4.1
Even though Edison is one big college in different locations, the Charlotte campus is definitely more inviting. The adminstrators here are more one on one and are very eager to help. Lee campus you wait in a conveyor belt line to talk to someone, but at Charlotte you get to talk in person in their office about any issues. Love this campus

The campus itself is beautiful, however I am unhappy about the administration and professors. Every time I go to the office I come out with a different answer everytime for the same question, nothing is ever clarified. I came from Charlotte and so it resembles a lot, especially with all the same students. Also, the professors could be better.
