I enjoy this school! The professors are hard but they also prepare you for a four year college or whatever your endeavor is.

If you've experienced bullying in high school, be ready for it to continue here. Despite expectations of maturity post-graduation, the issue persists at this school. Action needs to be taken.

I hate this school..

This school is not worth the money. The professors are awful. Floors are disgusting. The vending machines hardly ever work. Do not waste your money here. academicadvisor's are a joke.

In my opinion it does not even feel like a college. The people are not friendly at all.
Overall 1.5
The professors here do not care about their students. If you send them a email they will most likely never give you a response. The offer free tutoring, but its literally no help at all. Campus is very old and ugly. I absolutely hate this place.

Financial aid office is the worst. Some teachers are un-professional. Cashier office isn't much better. They also hold your financial aid refund pass the date of withdrawal. Thats over 30 days one would not have their refund to help buy books, pay rent, eat etc... somewhat ashamed I took courses at this school. Would not recommend ever....

Alright at least until you can get to a real school.
Overall 1.6
Unfortunately there are not many choices of classes for the student to register for. Registering for classes is beyond painful. Not only is the process awful but they willingly decide (without informing student) when they want to close certain classes due to low enrollment, therefore leaving the enrolled students to figure out what to do. Utter b.s

Good for an associates in the arts or possibly a certification. Their ME program expects you to teach yourself and takes 4 years to get an associates if your not straight out of high school. I'm on the GI bill and completely regret going here. I changed my major to the arts just so I could get a degree and leave this school. #Not real professors.

It's not the best place but it is not the worst either. It is what I expected from a community college.
