Go to a community college if you can. They're cheaper, will get you halfway to your degree, and the professors are better. This school charges you for nothing (ex: mandatory $70 orientation that was completely unless) and has awful professors.

If you are a parent, teacher, or friend I would recommend advising that no one attends this college. After multiple emails with staff, not one person is willing to help me with unforeseen consequences. They’ll help you if you’re pregnant but not if your family member is ill (even if you have two courses left). Even if you no longer have a way of commuting to the college because of an unreliable vehicle they still will not help you. Even more so, if you or your partner is a 100% disabled veteran that won’t make a difference (even though they claim they support the military). The best of all, even if your own doctor speaks on your behalf they still do not care. I am pretty sure all they care about is money. And most of the faculty spends it without the right to.

Parking fees are the worst. I never missed a payment. Paid my ticket just 15 minutes late and still got fined to make it worse, they wouldn’t even let me contest it. Appeals process is the worst. It feels less like fair enforcement and more like a cash grab.
