Perfect in all aspects! However school needs to work on the internet connectivity, also add more sitting areas (tables for students to study similar to the ones in the second and third floor of the library, were it gives students more personal space). I hope to one day see this school expand and grow! But PLEASE bring better internet.

Very nice school for a community college. All professor and staff were available when I needed them and answer any question that I had. Had a great time here and was able to get the credits I needed to transfer out with the help of my advisor. Their library was a great place to study and do the assignment. The math tutors are great.

Since coming to this college I have not enjoyed very much here. The young people are very rude. They do not respect anyone and the act like they are the only person on earth. Teacher quality vary as with any school. The wellness center quality is not the best for helpful result. Students from other universities working at wellness are less qual

The advisors are condescending, dont help at all. They literally just sit there and when someone is asking fo help seems like a drag to them. The professors dont care to help neither. Worst community college ever. Save your money and go somewhere else, theres other community colleges that are way better.

For a com college this is adequate. Much better than other CCCs (Truman). The food is horrible and way overpriced. Nothing in the way of career placement unless you count emails informing you of low or no pay openings. Councilors are there to sell classes, not council. Stick with full time Profs! pt'ers are very spotty. Nice campus few great profs

Small Campus. The building is a series of circles & can get confusing. Parking is easy if you're there before 9:30am. The food in the cafeteria is almost all junk, and the only things that aren't are the fish (expensive), turkey burger, and salad bar (tiny). The students are YOUNG & loud. Some are super thuggish. Lots of foul language in the halls.
