Paine College is a small, private, family orientated school; which is part of the reason I came. I like attending this school because of the 1 on 1 tutoring that I receive and also because of the many programs that they offer. We even have a student ran base tutoring program where students are hired to tutor other students in any subject they feel they are weak in. They offer many problems; not just school programs, but also life experiences programs.
Review Paine College
Paine is a great college . I have learned so much from going to this school. Everyone is great and friend with great school spirt. Only thing is I wish I knew about the financial status they are in before I came . Everyone is always trying to brighten the school by doing some kind of bonding or helping school out .
A lot of our policeman are sleeping on the job, no where to be found when really needed, they don't do their job far as checking student ID's when entering the campus and lastly their not their at all or socializing with each other.
