you pay for a piece of paper, not a real education. faculty and professors act like this is a side job and if you take online, expect 90% of teachers to act like its the first time they've touched a computer.

Terrible school and looking back, I wish I just saved enough to go to a 4 year university. Credits are so hard to transfer because their program sucks. Unless you're sticking to a 2 year A.S. , don't give a single penny this greedy 'institution'

Do NOT go to this school. There are a handful of nice professors and the rest are rude. The housing staff is disrespectful. They treat you like you are nothing and do not care. If you are able to go to another community college, do it. It is expensive and is NOT worth it.
Overall 2
This college is really only good for getting general studies out of the way before transferring, 50% of professors are good or great but the other 50% aren't worth the time. There is no real social feeling and it's rather boring but if you're only going to get gen eds done it's overall good

Well I have stayed at the dorms and there has been guns pulled out in the parking lot, cars that burst into flames, and more drugs than Miami. The people are strange, but the commuters are generally cool. Administration is always messing things up.
