I have never been to a friendlier school. The facilities team says hello & know my name, the campus is beautiful, security is friendly, the president is often walking around... The campus has amazing resources, food pantries, study areas & places to play pool. They also recently launched a bachelor's degree and the faculty team running are great!

I feel like this college is so underrated! I've been here for two years now & never felt more at home! The majority of the staff is very helpful and some will go above & beyond to understand & help anyone in need. The clubs, classes, & environment is great, I wish I could stay here forever! Thanks to all the people that made my experience great!

The school is a joke. The teachers I had are very unprofessional. Does not have time to sit and listen to you. One teacher I had came charging yelling at me for no reason! Then kicked me out of class. I made plenty of reports on teacher and nothing ever happened. Instead I got in trouble for nothing. And I am an A student!Do not attend this school!

The school is really ghetto. They also have the tendency to be complacent and unwilling to commit time to the students priorities. Most of the tutors don't know what they're talking about and are just about as clueless as the person seeking help. The overall student curriculum screams "common core".

This school does nothing more than weed out its students. Most of their programs start out in a way that makes you think you're supported, but once the refund period is up, they start weeding students out of programs. They aren't in the business of educating the public. Students should find someplace else to go and not waste their money.

It seems like their main goal is to just get you to pass. All the classes were really easy and now i feel really unprepared for ASUIf you just need an associate fine, but transferring to university find another school. A lot of students dropped out, showed up in pj's & unprepared. good luck if working in a team or group project

The school looks like a ghost town. No one talks to you. The library staff are amazing. DRS is rude, does not accommodate you without asking for a million things, they also lose everything so keep emails to track all communication with them and document all comments. Also has a shady public past. This school is awful
