Flag Review - Rating:
- This school is absolutely awful. A giant waste of time and money. Half the staff is incompetent and the other half just don't care. The financial aid office is a joke. They serve absolutely no purpose, and DO NOT offer any help other than a shrug of a shoulder. Do not get sucked into this horrible place.
