Very helpful staff! Smaller classes, therefore less stress and pressure in class. Very highly rated professors. They have a more affordable tuition with a variety of class options. It's a 2 year college, but with the amount of classes they offer you can continue further into a 4 year degree before having to transfer. Offers a variety of online, hybrid, and on campus classes. Highly recommend this school!
The class sizes are small and majority of the professors I have had are very eager to help students with the material and passing their class. The professors want to help you and they will help you with a plan to be successful in their class. The campus is very clean and I have never felt unsafe at the campus, probably because it is so small and it feels like a small community. The staff is helpful and has always been kind. There is a student lounge with food options and there will occasionally be vendors welcomed on campus, however other than that the food options are limited. The surrounding area makes up for this and has numerous restaurants and fast food options available relatively close by. The campus is in an area with lots of plants so there is the hotels, restaurants, and the Lamar Dixon Expo Center close by with a small park with a walking path.
I loved the professors at the school and manly of the classes I got to take! There were great classes taught by people who were very enthusiastic about the subject matters they covered. I always felt like my teachers took notice of me and cared about me. They made themselves available to students, always offering us time to see them during their office hours. The students there are also very nice. I become friends with many of my classmates after just one semester. They understand the situation many students are in, and they are helpful while also holding us accountable, because they know what we are capable off and encourage us to try harder and harder.
