Bad reviews

Every Community College I have been too is better than WilmU in every aspect. The campus is unimpressive with a layout that makes no sense, Profs don't challenge you. You must not try to fail. I have learned nothing from this school and question my future. Good 4 degree and busy sched. Block courses make it feel less like school more like work
Overall 1.5
Its easy to graduate but avoid if you're looking for a college life experience.
Overall 1.6
Not a good school.
Overall 1.6
Worst school I have ever attended. Staff is absolutely no help. Dean does not care about his students. I regret attending.
Overall 1.7
It's bizarre that this school has such a great reputation as it is because it needs much improvement just to be on the same level as other community colleges. The bathrooms are deplorable, the library is horribly out of date and the computers are slow. Basically everything on this college looks like a bad 90's movie. Adjuncts don't grade or care.
Overall 1.8
WilmU offers the accessibility to earn a degree at an affordable rate. With offering the least expensive degree program in the state, WilmU earns a A+ in that category. Although extremely helpful, the (evening)teaching staff appear to focus on their working hours rather than the curriculum. I found teachers create material to extend class time.
Overall 1.9
Sub-par. So hit or miss with professors.
Overall 1.9
This school had a better reputation when it was a diploma mill. Great place to go if you like being just another student. Administration does not care about academic quality. Their only concern is meeting student quotas. Instructors are so-so. Some good, some horrible. Seems like they hire anyone with a degree, even if not qualified to teach.

The quality of the education overall is below average. The professors are careless and the administrative staff is even worse. This a good place to get a quick degree but if you really want to learn, look somewhere else.
