I love attending this brand new campus. We get the big school perks and the small school treatment. Beautiful right on the riverfront and super friendly staff

Not a real school. No point in paying for 4-year price when it's a better experience and cheaper just to go to Black Hawk.

I do not like this school at all. The teachers are terrible, the rules are a joke, they have gas leaks all the time, their heat never works properly. I would not recommend this school to anyone!

Depending on what your major is, different departments are better than other ones. Some of the faculty is lost or has no idea what they are doing. They charge you for a parking pass even though the parking spots are never full. There are no food options there unless a food truck may come for the day. There are some clubs but not many.
