The professors say they’re available whenever you need them, but they’re really not.

William - 03/13/2020

Good School Can't Expect Too Much , I appreciate the size and diversity of ages , I wish I attended a four year but am not financially stable to do so , I think the school is the best choice at the moment , my director is the best though , he helps out his students and cares about us

Tiffiny - 05/24/2019

The instructors are awesome, especially Mr Malakowski. Most go above and beyond to work with you. The rush program has hubs all over the school for different subjects and welcomes students who are not part of the program to come in for help. The financial aid department leaves a lot to be desired, their system is confusing and they are not trained properly on how to help the students.

    First I would say “Tamika, don’t take time off after graduating, go straight to college. Trust me on this one, because in the 21st century you will need a degree to get just about any job. Next make sure you study hard and make a difference. Don’t settle for the norm, stand out and get noticed. Apply for scholarships early and make sure you talk advantage of your guidance counselor they are here to help you with choices. “Tamika” I hope you are listening the next piece of advice is extremely important. You know that job you have at the donut shop? Great job becoming an assistant manager so young but don’t let that go to your head please!! Save some money for a raining day, because college is expensive and having stress of how you will pay for it will take away from your studying. Also don’t forget to set goals and make plans about what you want to obtain with a college degree. Last bit of advice is to remember to enjoy life and always keep God first and things will work out.
