Terrible staff. Those people do not know how to do their job properly. I will just leave it at that. Other than that, the campus community is tolerable and the proffessors are wonderful! The environment, however, is not for the faint of heart. If you want to pursue a career in the culinary field on a budget, then this is the school.

From my experience in Kennedy King, the school is better than I expected. There are professors there that cares about your success if they see that you're trying. The advisors and professors encourage everyone to continue their education once they graduate. If you do decide to transfer to a university, the transfer center will help you pay the application fee as well as harass you about filling them out. The school isn't bad. It's quite charming.
Honestly I just believe all the city colleges should see some reform. Highschool where bad enough, but how can we leave highschool an wish to save money if saving money means dealing with gettho behavior?
