申请点评

• Campus Resources: Availability of computers is awesome and the use of Wi-fi is appreciated but the network is slow and sometimes not functioning to the capability that it should.
• Campus Resources: The school hours are pretty reasonable for all resources. Unfortunately being a small school our library is pretty small and doesn't have all the materials I've needed for research but the professors are understandably int hat sense. Campus activities are minimal and have little participation. But I do love my school for what it has and for a community college it is pretty good.
• Campus Resources: They have provided many different groups that you can be a part of, such as, student senate, TRIO, STAFF, Student ambassador, etc. they offer alot.
• Student Body: Our school is very diverse; there are students from all over the world. This is great and I'm glad these people get these opportunities. But this also leads to a lot of groups that form weather it be by race, ethnicity, or athletics. People tend to stay in groups and don't communicate outside that group. It would help if there were more school activities that students could be apart of together. They have a student council that plans events like this but they aren't advertised well or people just aren't interest. This needs to be improved. Lucky at our school people overall are very accepting and open minded of others. The only problem I see in students is participation in classes, clubs, and school events.
• Academic Experience: The amount of work I get is little enough that I can get everything done in class in a timely manner. This is nice because bing in graphic design I get almost no homework outside of class compared to other Generals classes I take. The program is decent, nothing amazing, I learned the basics of graphic design in the two years at community college. This is why I plan to continue at a 4-year college to improve my skills. But we do have top quality computers and facilities that I appreciate greatly.*(4)
