This school does not truely care about you or your education. The students do what ever they wish and in some cases dictate this class environment and attitude. If you do have a complaint about anything they will be glad to listen but be prepared to very "political type responses". If you want the high school type environment then you've found it!

Where to start with this campus? Tons of "fresh-out-of-high-school" teens here. Loud and rude. Parking is a pain. Only redeeming quality is the guaranteed transfer to specific Universities. Hit or miss professors. Never ate here, since the mall is down the road. it's cheap. Info desk people are useless. Student Services=mixed results.

Food is always greasy & oily. Nota huge selection of books Avoid the student services if possible- their very unfriendly/unhelpful.
Overall 1.9
I have visited many counselors and they all told m different things. Student services could be nicer. They would rather have your money than help you out. One advisor will tell you to take one class, a month later you return and youre halfway through that class when they tell you, "oh, you need this class instead".At that point its too late to drop
