Bad reviews
Overall 1.2
This school has outdated and unfair policies. The staff is rude; the food choices are limited and unhealthy. There is little concern for students.
Overall 1.5
If you are planning to becoming a Nurse, you will be better off attending a local community college. This nursing program is not for beginners. The professors will humiliate in front of everybody. If you are trying to get a business degree, you are wasting your time as well. The professors will humiliate in business department as well. BAD COLLEGE.
Overall 1.5
Some of staffs are mean and very offensive. It was my biggest mistake of my life to attend this college. The Nursing program is very unfair. The grading scales are so unfair. A 75-79 should be a C and 80-89 should be a B.
