Great teachers in the science department
Overall 5
The best school. The best professors and staff, just overall the best atmosphere. I graduated from here in 2019, and miss it very much as I am now at another school. You will receive a great amount of guidance on how you want to further your education. I would do it all over if I could.

I came here as an older student, and I am so impressed! Faculty is encouraging, staff goes out of their way, administration is accessible…all the things you would want in a college. I have been challenged by the curriculum and given so many opportunities to grow. I am very happy that I chose this school, because the experience has been great.

You get what you pay for.
Overall 1.5
Disappointed in the lack of communication and ineptness of the staff. Found majority of the administration very RUDE and unable to give direct answers. I was treated as if I was stupid for asking questions, as if it was assumed being an older student I should know how to do everything. I feel I was set up to fail with no supportive services.
