This campus brings the homey feeling to the college experience and everyone makes you feel welcome and at home. The only addition that I would recommend would be for them to build more buildings and utilize the surrounding area.
Overall 4
The school has come a long way from when it started. There is a lot of activity and more than enough space to get out side and even to study. the school also plans to add an additional building for students be able to relax and more room to to work.

None.
Overall 1.4
Huge emphasis on helping overprivileged people succeed. Nearly everything requires full-time enrollment: scholarships, work-study, financial aid, etc. Average Joes/Jills and disabled students don't stand a chance. Get EVERYTHING in writing and download/use their FOIA form regularly. Budget $400/semester for mandatory undisclosed fees.
Overall 1.6
This is the most veteran unfriendly school that I've ever seen. It is extremely unorganized in the manner that it operates.
