Yesterday was the first time I took a group of middle school students to tour this campus! We were treated like royalty! They met us at our busses and had a fun-filled itinerary! Their presentations were informative and the testimonials from students touched our students! The tour guides had great rapport with our students and Manny was super funny! Thank you for welcoming us to your beautiful campus! Our students also loved eating on your campus! I highly recommend this college!

It's a hassle to get into this school. Their disbursement dates don't align with the calendar, so you get stuck having to pay back $500 dollars when you're required to drop. The staff is not helpful, and likes to lose paperwork. Only good thing about this school is the campus.
