Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Its a great college for people to start off with, friendly people and the campus isn't big so finding your class is easy. There are dorms on site which is where i lived.
Tips for prospective students If you can live in the dorms they are affordable and close by so you won't be late for class. Apply for classes as soon as you can don't wait, the same goes for books once they are gone you have to borrow or something.
Dorm Life It was awesome experience I didn't have a roommate so i put both beds together for a California king size bed! The kitchen was decent and the all the utilities were included in the rent. They were close by so i didn't have to drive to school which is a plus on gas.
Food and Dining It was affordable and alot of food choices to choose from. They had chiefs cooking what you wanted fresh. It wasn't like you cam and took a tray that had been sitting there waiting to be grabbed. Freshly made food to your likes and quick. Noodles, hamburgers, sandwiches, salad, soups, breakfast, pizza, just to name a few.
What to do for fun Hang out with friends or meet new friends, play pool or watch t.v in the lounge. go over to the library and surf the net, play games or study with friends, or there's like 10 rooms to choose from in the back to watch t.v or have meetings in or study groups or just hang out. Or if living in the dorms hang out with other friends there and see how their living is different form yours or bring over new friends.
Bang for the buck The tuition is cheaper than your usual colleges or universities. Books are easier to buy or its not over crowded like other colleges and books run out because of students v.s books ratio. Its more personal there you can meet practically everyone there if your talkative like me and in a big university you wont be able to meet half the other students. I liked it because i didn't feel like the new kid always, unlike university ill only meet a fraction of the students and feel out of place.
Great for these types of students Someone who wants to start a new social life or one who wants to have friends. Ones who want to fit in easily.
Campus Safety The campus has security officers patroling the whole campus day and night. The dorms are safe to be in because you need a key to egt in the building. Or sometimes they will ask you for your student i.d to see if your a student. So i felt safe there on campus or in the dorms.
