Don't get sucked in to this private institution unless you want to pay student loans back the rest of your life. Poor quality education.

Unorganized staff, disappointing student population. I put a lot of effort into classes & I was getting similar grades to students with poor quality work. I would NOT recommend this school to a serious, ambitious student who is passionate about what they are studying!! It's NOT a good environment, very discouraging. I was very happy to transfer!
