Overall 1.6
DDI classes are terrible, course selection is extremely limited, no place to get food besides mcdonalds, wifi is spotty, and there is no where to study, especially a quiet place (they always have classrooms locked and it is like pulling teeth to get one opened to study) since the library is so small
Overall 1.7
The only good thing about this school is that its pretty cheap. There's rarely food here. Hope you like vending machines (last year there was expired food in it) and McDonalds. The academic advisor needs to get a new job because she has no idea what shes doing. There's pretty much no wifi, I have to use my hotspot. Prof do not know how to teach.

I mean, it is what it is for such a tiny campus in a small town. I was here Sept 2022-Apr 2023; wifi literally didn't work in the library. Super spotty throughout the building. Only a couple vending machines within, with McDonalds not far. Very small class sizes which is a plus, however very limited class options.
