They education in my opinion if so much better than a university. The professors care, however there are some that are difficult to work with, they are available for help. They provide online restaurants and a good community of people. The advisors are very helpful in furthering your education journey and helping with practical life skills.

Adamaris - 11/12/2019

i think its a great school with lost of diversity and events to participate and get involved with. its a place to get ready for when you are ready to transfer to a 4 year college. staff is helpful and the teachers are nice and helpful. its a fun school and event tho we don't have a lot of sports groups we still have intramural and other active activities. the art programs at school are amazing as well as the music groups, especially the jazz band. this school has a lot of different nationalities and appreciates everyone's background.
