申请点评

Campus Resources: The wireless internet and computers are great and work well when I need them. But I am an online student so it doesn't matter as much because of my own computer.
Campus Quality: The clubs are awesome and always doing something on campus makes the days go good
Academic Experience: Welding Manufacturing. It is very broken down, and they teach you everything you need to know and more.
Campus Resources: They have everything you could ever want and need. They have a huge library of books, a book store where you can not only get books, but supplies like pens, pencils, highlighters, and even sweatshirts. The cafeteria is amazing, they always have good food, and coffee.
Academic Experience: Not able to participate at all until certain courses are completed. Workload is inconsistent, ranging from 11 to 18 credits a semester. Classrooms have rigid chairs and basic, fold out tables.
Campus Quality: Exercise facilities are only available to a small number of students. Flexibility of courses (dates, times, instructors) is poor. Classroom set up is uncomfortable and basic (chairs, tables, accessibility). There is a lack of interest in assisting students without vehicles to get to campus (campus is poorly located for the area). The college is actually run by the local school system, and appears to be last on the list for funding and interest.*(4)
