申请点评

• Campus Resources: Again, I haven't seen enough on campus resources to have a valid opinion. I do know they have a student center and a nicely sized library, but I know little else of what is available yet.
• Campus Resources: I've only dealt with the online classes and I have not had any problems with their D2L (desire to learn) program that it's run off of. They give adequate amount of time if maintenance is required on the site. I have my own computer so I haven't needed to look into the availability of computers for students.
• Overall Experience: I've had a positive experience with this school the past couple years I've been taking my nursing prerequisites. It's location is convenient for me, the classes are flexible that work around my work, it has a good reputation as far as the nursing program goes, and I was accepted to their program on the first try most likely due to my 4.0 that I had with the prerequisite classes I took there. I would definitely choose the school again, I almost regret not starting this process a year or two earlier when I first moved to the area, but I've had nothing but a positive outlook on it so far.
• Campus Quality: I honestly have less on-hand experience with the campus than I do with the online class aspect. I will be spending more time at the actual school this coming fall and will have a better opinion then. From what I have encountered it's an average school that provides all that is needed for students to feel they are accomplishing their academic goals.
• Academic Experience: My school has a large nursing program so it has a good history behind it. I don't know much of the specifics of the program since I have only been doing the prerequisite classwork leading up to this upcoming year.*(4)
