It has diversity and a good faculty to student ratio. Yet it always seemed so disorganized and inefficient. Many times programs would fade in and out of existence or the school would make gaping mistakes.

It's ok. I wouldn't recommend it but I stop anyone from going if they wanted to suffer. There are big things that suck about it but it mainly the little things that will build up and will make you snap one day. Again don't hate it but also don't like it. It really depends on the student.

I have been to this school and other schools in the area and it is probably the worst. The education there is so bad. They barely teach anything and the curriculum is so bad. I went for 1 year and I learned nothing compared to the other kids at different schools that I met the year after I left this...
