I was a non-traditional student and didn't live on campus. Overall, I had a good time here. The faculty (teachers) consistently shows that they care about you and your future. The staff (everyone else) are rough around the edges and could benefit from some training. Would happily attend again!
Overall 4.3
Winston is a great school. Im glad I chose to come here. Its not really hard to make friends because majority of the people here are very nice and social. There are always events happening on campus. But like every university it has its flaws. Administration isnt that great but everything else makes up for it. They are lots of hangout spots too.
Overall 4.2
It's a nice school where you choose to stay if you live on campus definitely matters because it will make or break your school year.

Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
I do not recommend this school. I had professors who had spelling and grammar errors on exams and other written material they presented to the class. The campus is in an area with a high crime rate. I had tremendous problems trying to communicate with administration. I was hung up on and calls were never returned. Very unprofessional. Go elsewhere.
Overall 1.3
I hate this school. Financial Aid is horrible and the administration don't really help you. There is nothing to do on campus on weekends and places to eat are scarce. This school is in the hood so there is a lot of random people of campus. Campus police are money hungry & stand beside meters so they can ticket you. In short DON'T GO TO THIS SCHOOL
Overall 1.4
Terrible professors besides maybe 1 or 2 exceptions. Absolutely disgusting campus.
Overall 1.5
If you are a serious student, go elsewhere. Many of the students were only admitted to this college due to their poor high school grades. Professors have to accommodate these students. Finally, Administration and many professors mistreat white students.
Overall 1.7
Financial Aid is no help. No one answers your questions but gives you the run-around.
Overall 1.7
Might as well have pursued an online education.
