Fantastic school where everyone feels like family. Professors and advisors truly care about each student, which makes the overall experience that much better.

Just finished my junior year. President Connover has turned this place around. Not that it was bad before, but noticeably better now. Internet has been fixed as he promised. Food is better. Great small college atmosphere. I really like it here.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.6
Quincy sucks. I feel bad just saying it like that, but it's true. In 10 12 years this school is going to be amazing, but till then it's a train wreck. extremely small educational departments, only one solid building for classes, the grass barely grows here. Most people enjoy the school but think they should probably transfer.

education and living is not worth the tuition they are wanting.
Overall 1.8
The school is very dirty, old, and depressing. You can meet some nice people there but the school lacks proper facilities to even help contribute anything meaningful. The food at the cafe is vile and honestly not even safe to serve. There are some friendly teachers but for the majority dont care about you. Transcripts take ages to be sent.

I made the mistake of trusting my advisor and have now been completely screwed over halfway through my junior year. Staff has not at all been helpful in this endeavor. Save your money and go a a state school, dont make my mistake and fall for the private school will care about the individual student facade.
