Amazing
Overall 4.9
Amazing school! You need a car if you want to do things off campus though. Also, the opportunities are unrivaled, you just have to look around. 10/10 campus, professors are usually pretty awesome, and as long as you are social, you can easily find friends. I would recommend to anybody and everybody I know!

Bad reviews

I got gang raped by a group of mormon people.
Overall 1.6
I've had better education at community college for half the price. Security and commuter services is outrageously terrible and a girl was murdered on their watch. The parking alone is bad enough to ruin any redeeming qualities of this school. It's over crowded, over priced, and every step is steeped in mind numbing bureaucracy. They don't care.
