It's a pretty solid campus. Student services are great. they helped me out a lot in understanding what I needed to do to get started. food is alright. But they do hire a few professors who suck. They grade way to heavy and it's hard to get an A in their class. Never thought a professor's grading could make me feel so upset.

I feel the education I received was as good, if not better, than any four year university. However, the cost was much less than any four year university. Class sizes were small and instructors were available. I did have a couple of instructors that only taught one or two classes and they were not as easy to get in touch with or get help from.
