Flag Review - Rating:
- I feel like for the money I am paying to go here, they could definitely improve the dorms and some other facilities. I also feel some of the staff could be more helpful, and they should offer more financial aid. The education is decent though and the teachers seem to know their stuff, just feel like there is nothing special about it. Get your degree and be done.
