It is in the bad part of Birmingham. Staff is not helpful, but it depends on who you go to.

Lawson State is 'ok'. The place could use a good cleaning, a coat of fresh paint and electronics actually from this decade. And don't expect a working clock or water fountain anywhere. However, the school is very laid-back and easy with cool teachers. Lawson is great for getting pre-reqs done or a GPA boost before transferring to another college.
