Bad reviews

Probably the worst place I've ever been. I spent only one semester there and transferred to a PWI. Everything needs to be remodeled. Physical Education Department is very slack!!! It's a shame how certain professors treat the students. I wouldn't allow my kids to attend this school. Use this school as a last resort. Gives HBCUs a bad look!

This school should be your last resort if all else fails. If you attend stay on top of financial aid and your teachers. The staff will get lazy, but if you are looking for the parties then come here. But this school is what you make it honestly and the WIFI IS TRASH.
