Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | The schedule is flexible and the cost low. The courses were directed towards getting you a job. There was no waste and no fluff. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | The school was not a big name school. I did however, have no problem getting a job, which is the most important aspect of a school's reputation. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The school's program was geared towards getting a job, which I did easily. The school was technical, but all the courses were useful on the job. |
| Instruction | 10 | The professors were knowledgeable and had been working in the field that they taught. Since the school was small, they were available for extra help. |
| How Difficult | 8 | There is a learning curve and it was difficult at first. There were other subjects such as accounting and writing that were difficult at first, too. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Students were either on the keyboard or writing or assembling. The major focus in the school was actually doing the work that you would be doing on your job. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I could take day or evening classes. I think also they had classes on the weekends. They were on a quarter system so that class schedule options changed frequently. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | It was a state school and did not have a big budget. The professors were good and always available. It was a small school. |
| Social Life | 4 | There were no dorms and people would come and go. There were a few parties, but most people had jobs while going to school. |
| Placement Services | 10 | They were very active in getting people jobs and interviews. I think their job placement ratio was very good. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | They were not very well organized but their budget was small. You could choose to be more active, but I did not choose that. |
