| Would Recommend? | maybe | If they needed an affordable school that can give them a good education, I would recommend it. I was able to get through school with a good education, while not having many school loans. |
| Program Reputation | I am unsure of the reputation my school has regarding my major. I will assume it is neither good nor bad. | |
| Program Quality | 6 | My school was okay for the program. I feel like they gave a jack-of-all-trades type of program. They tried to include so much stuff that you were unable to master much of anything. |
| Instruction | 5 | Some of my instructions were great. A lot of them had a language barrier with the students, though. |
| How Difficult | 7 | It was fairly difficult. I assume it was not the hardest course out there, though. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was mainly hands on, because I was doing a lot of computer programming at the time. There still was some material where you needed to bury your nose in a book, though. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | Flexibility was great. I was able to work a job throughout college and make my schedule work around my work hours. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | The computers were starting to become out of date. The library was great, but no one really uses a library too much these days. |
| Social Life | 5 | The parties were great. The sports teams were so-so. The area that the campus is located around is a real cool place to live. |
| Placement Services | 2 | I basically found a job on my own. I had no use for the job placement center. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | I have no connection with the alumni network. The only thing I hear from alumni is requests for donations. |
