Flag Review - Rating:
- Everyone seems nice and teachers are great. The tuition was not that high as well, which was a huge help for me. This is a great school for nursing, which is what I'm taking courses in. You get a very good solid education. No complaints. I'm older and didn't feel intimidated one bit coming back to school.
