    I’ve really enjoyed this college, the advisors here are very helpful and makes sure I have everything I need taken care of. I am able to get my education at home online with ease which really helps considering I work 40 hours every week. Without the financial aid office helping me figure out how to afford to go to school, I wouldn’t have been able to attend college without them.

    For someone that grew up in the area, this is a good oppurtiny to stay at home longer and save money. The school itself is probably similar to other community colleges. The classes are not too difficult on average and they do have a wide range of classes. Just like anywhere else, it has good and bad professors. Most of the ones I have dealt with are pleasant and easy to work with.
    I truly enjoy the atmosphere the school has to offer, going in I was quite nervous because of the new environment but there really isn't any reason to be. The classes are relaxed (not too relaxed to where you can get away without doing work) and other students are really helpful with showing you around or giving you some insight about the class you're taking. Paying for classes can be a struggle but really that's with any college. The financial aid office workers are extremely kind and understand how difficult paying for college can be. They really will try to work with you so you can pay for your classes in a timely matter.
