Good college
Overall 4.1
Truman is great. All my educators know their stuff. Very diverse campus and the only boneheads are the high-school program kids. Everyone else who sticks it out for the full semester is cool and contributes to the classes. I wouldn't stand outside at two in the morning but before 10 pm its a pretty tame area. Most importantly, good education.

The college offers almost no classes, making you think about how they are still open as a school.
Overall 1
This school refuses to update itself in any way possible.
Overall 1
The school needs to work on challenging students instead of simpling passing them. The point of going to college is to learn and focus on your career path. If the teachers are being told just to pass everyone what's the point of going?
Overall 1
The school doesn't even offer a safe environment. This school is extremely outdated I've seen more offered at high schools than at this college.
Overall 1
The school needs better security. The safety in this area is really bad.
Overall 1
The teachers at this college need to be evaluated better before hiring. The books need to be looked at before assigning since they push many of their political beliefs into them.
Overall 1
Truman College needs a full update on everything. The school looks more like a security facility than an actual college.
Overall 1
The college needs to update the books they assign you. The school teaches at a below-average requirement.
Overall 1
The school needs to have more security and safety do to the high amount of crime that happens.

I would like to be able to go to a school that doesn't push individuals to vote for certain individuals but focus on the education part.
