    Very nice staff,very helpful, and respectful. I went there looking for admissions I got lost and I stopped and asked a random worker and she showed me the way. I was close to giving up and going home and not continuing my education. Without her I would still be struggling. I thank her ! Overall great experience would recommend anyone to go to this college!

    I like the small campus in the middle of town. The financial aid office is very friendly. The advisors are very nice and helpful! Getting to have small class rooms is very personal and good.
    The college president decided to shorten the spring 2017 semester three weeks into the semester, due to forgetting about a "prior engagement," obviously creating havoc for students and professors.
    I had trouble with financial aid due to being a transfer student and having an AS degree, even with a 3.8 GPA I was placed on academic probation . After numerous letters and phone calls to inquire why, finally I was told because I was " too close to my Pell Grant limit." I had to write an appeal twice. Finally I was awarded . I took two courses, one online and one on campus. I loved the professors, but the course I took on campus, College Algebra, although the professor was fantastic, I found the students RUDE and disruptive and disrespectful to both myself and the professor, which made for a difficult learning environment. I passed the class and finished the semester but transferred.
