"For the most part this was a very positive experience. I tried to ignore the politics going on around us. And clearly since the school is no longer in operation I am kind of aggravated. Could have gone somewhere else that was more accredited."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | Can't - they no longer are in operation. |
| Program Reputation | 1 | The program and the school do not exist any more. |
| Program Quality | 9 | Politics & office/staff issues were not well hidden from students. The academics were great. |
| Instruction | 10 | The classes could not have been better. The instructors were professional & extremely knowledgeable. |
| How Difficult | 7 | As an older student & former bachelor's degree grad I had lots of "college" experience, so I found some of the curriculum to be less than challenging. We were bored & it cracked us up at the time. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Typing class was hands on. Would have liked to do more "on the job" training. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Classes were not extensive & didn't always have the appropriate staff needed to offer a wider variety of classes. Not very flexible when dealing with family emergencies. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | This was a small college but it had efficient facilities. The other programs had adequate lab space. |
| Social Life | 5 | Diverse group of students. Experienced, like minded people interacting with one another. |
| Placement Services | 1 | Never heard about any job opportunities from the school I graduated from. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | The school has been shut down so not much alumni are in touch. |
