Worst head of department - biased-bullies professors
Overall 1.4
Mediocre institution filled with regionally minded individuals that probably graduated from UWF. Like Pensacola, it has a tendency to celebrate mediocrity for the next best thing. Hard to believe that some of the staff here have the best intentions for students. Be firm with what you want to do or advisors will make you take longest road possible.

This school absolutely loots you of your money. For such a small school, they hire the worst teachers and are extremely unhelpful when you need it. They have very dark places on campus and have no safety buttons, and the dorms (unless you're in the rich ones) have no parking, so you are left to park elsewhere, and have to pay extra for parking lots

The nature on campus is great. That's about it.
