申请点评
- Student Body: Usually someone knows someone from the school. We are all so busy trying to work hard in school that sometimes it gets very competitive; especially for scholarships.
- Campus Resources: My school just remodeled the student center and it is beyond words. That just shows that my school really does care about students and their success.
- Campus Resources: The wifi is usually pretty decent, however it would be great if it could be extended outside where there are picnic tables and if it could be a bit more reliable.
- Academic Experience: I feel my school is best described as a great transfer school. As an accounting major, they have the general accounting classes that are great and awesome business classes. The workload is a lot but worth it.
- Academic Experience: The business teachers absolutely rock! They are dedicated to students and understand we are the next generation in the business world and they want us to be ready.
- Academic Experience: While they are quite a few amazing, amazing teachers at Parkland, there are also the ones whom I believe should not be teaching at all. They have no concept of the average student workload, and can sometimes be down right disrespectful.*(4)
