The last 2 years that I have gone to this college, I have had nothing but amazing professors who do everything in their capabilities to make sure you succeed and pass your classes. I appreciate my instructors who give me the constructive criticism to help me with understanding the course material on my own without them just giving the answers.

Small town, and school is small. Very small. The library isn't even open on the weekends and closes at 5pm mon-fri. Financial Aid staff sucks, they are so rude and are not willing to help at all. I cannot wait to get out of this town and go to an actual college.

Extreme disappointment with the lack of preparation and professionalism of the professing staff. I am now into my third week of classes and am without vital materials from the bookstore for a class. I would recommend if you have the option to go to another school do so. The amount of money to quality education is lack luster at best.

The overall apathy of this faculty is frustrating. Unless you have been offered scholarship through athletics or are attending the culinary institution I see no advantages. Help desk is very condescending and treats their students like nuisances. Beautiful campus; however the housing environment is very unprofessional. Great food/science programs

Rep is sports, all sports kids go mostly for free. Location is pretty, but a bit boring, not a lot to do. Campus is pretty, science building is awesome. Not a good place for social life, Def need a car to have fun. Apartments are best part. Dining sucks, always got sick. Car break in's, campus security has no cameras. Most profs are great and fun.

Staff are vicious gossips, especially Carolyn Byrd and Susan Anderson. Professors do whatever they want with no consequences. Lots of theft on campus and off. Dorms way overpriced. Nowhere quiet to study. Boys on basketball team call you r*cist if you don't give it up to them, teachers laugh about it. Nursing program is awful. Don't go here.
