This place is dying and it shows. Someone keeps pumping up the ratings, but everybody knows it's over. Dropping enrollments, terrible teaching, etc.
Overall 1.7
I felt somewhat disappointed with how the school operates itself. Unless you are in Leadership or have connections, you mean nothing to the administration. A number of us have felt ignored or neglected because we're not the "ideal" students that in their daydream world perceive. Also some of the employees are extremely rude, including instructors.

Even the new president Stuebner knew better than to actually come to this place. Life support. Hey, last person on campus, please turn off the lights.
