I love it. Plenty of opportunities and more. Very helpful staff and very encouraging. Faculty have many years of experience and the most helpful when it comes to receiving the most out of your education. The class size is small and caters to your needs quite well.

Very nice community college with excellent supportive and knowledgeable staff members who can help shape careers.Having a teacher that has had field training is immensely helpful for future knowledge.

Kylee

Every program and every individual has to abide by the same rules. I do wish that the dress code was program specific though. It is an accelerated course which is nice and quick, keeps your mind focused. All faculty is there to help and the students become a tight knit group of people.

Peter

The college overall is sufficient. I had issues in the past that forced me to quit my schooling, but I was able to clear things up and went back. The facilitator of my class seems to be unsure of the material and I have had to correct him by referencing the text book. I believe there could be improvements to the curriculum to make it more interesting than just looking at a power point the whole session. It is sufficient to learn the material, but very boring, for lack of a better term.
