Great school!! Best choice I ever made!
Overall 5
I am almost finished with my Master's Degree and couldn't be happier with my experience thus far. Most of the professors are willing to work with your busy professional life. I have been pleased with the interactions with other students and the professors. I feel challenged by the courses, but those challenges are certainly manageable.

This is an amazing school with professors that are dedicated to your success!

I enrolled in the online PhD program hoping it would be a good alternative to the big online schools with poor reputations, and I have been extremely pleased. The work is much harder than I anticipated which is good--I wanted a PhD that would challenge me and take me to the next level in my career without putting me in permanent debt, and it has!

Great online programs for people who are unable to go to class in person.

Very nice atmosphere! Students and faculty are super friendly. The campus is beautiful. It is in a very rural area but it has a feeling of peace and safety. They do a great job of keeping students busy with a variety of activities daily. They have a variety of good dining options.

Great place to study and earn your degree. Flexibility for working students.

Awesome school!!!

I'm a full-time, in-person student here at UC and I love the school! My department goes above and beyond for their students and the people here are wonderful. Williamsburg, Kentucky is awesome if you love small towns, but if you're used to cities it can be a difficult adjustment. I moved off campus ASAP though because the dorms have strict rules.

This is a great University. I had to transfer from another college due to discrimination, and UC made me feel welcome, the professors are helpful, and the students/climate are great! I love my school. Having online classes makes it convenient when you're working full time and raising kids.

Took online grad courses at UOC ugh what a mistake. The administration changed and the quality did as well. From what I see it continues to decline with everything in a muddle. They send financial aid via check - yes you read that correctly, if you have a balance after everything is paid they disburse it by paper check.

This school is not what they advertise. It seems like an amazing school but if you like having a social life forget it

If you value your sanity, DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! The faculty by and large are incompetent and you would get a better education at a public library. They pretend to care about students and the pretend to be very religious, but it's all a joke. All they care about is your money. Go to EKU, WKU, Morehead, whatever.

Took the Master in counseling online. Started out great, then the administration changed. Now the good profs have all left, the rules changed mid stream and the scheduler messed the semesters up for us all. I went from a 4.0 to being unable to graduate in my last semester. What an expensive mess this turned out to be. Don't do it!

THIS SCHOOL SUCKS, like others said, the adm. just wants your money, and nothing else, they don't care about you. Food is awful.

I'm really glad I transferred. There's just so many ridiculous things about this campus 350 characters wouldn't even begin to cover it. The food is awful, like it will give you diarrhea awful. The dorms have black mold, roaches, etc. The administration does NOT care about YOU. They care about people with $$$$$

I enrolled for a chance to get an online degree. The workload was ridiculously overwhelming. If you have to work, have a family, or just cannot dedicate your day to school work, I suggest you go elsewhere.

Overall bad experience. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you're used to a large city because Williamsburg is a culture shock. The food is decent, the professors were alright, the dorms were very outdated and I had mold in mine. Its very similar to high school. I transferred after one year.
