I love this school I am scheduled to graduate this May and the school has been amazing. They really do care about the students and helping them succeed. They offered so much assitance with my classes having to be extended while dealing with my pregnancy and the passing of my father. Without them I would not be where I am today in my education.

If you are transferring in, don't. The staff sucks at keeping your stuff up to date and they'll lose your transcripts. If you plan to go somewhere else either before or after graduation don't attend STC. The grading system is tough and strange, stay at a university or transfer out.
