Their website is so convoluted and confusing itAveragePreMed and Medical
Their website is so convoluted and confusing it will make you crazy. Communication is not good because they don't return phone calls and rarely respond to emails. The two guidance counselors I spoke with acted as if they were so disinterested and indifferent it was a waste of time, and it was like pulling teeth to get all of the information necessary. The Biology class I just finished required a textbook - teacher never had us open it once...big waste of money. I would not recommend this college.

Question
I've attended for 1 year and now thinkingQuite BrightComputer Engineering
I've attended for 1 year and now thinking of quitting and going to a REAL college. They are a joke!!. The classes are too easy I'm get 100% A's with little to no effort whats so ever. Heck don't even try to email them if you have a question, 95% of the time you will not get a answer (especially if its a online class!!!). After acing my recent class, which directly dealt with the career path I am interested in, there was a offer for a internship to a local firm. My Prof said send him a resume and he would get back to me about more details. Can you guess what happened next???. You got it no response, none. I got a 100% A in the class!!!. So now all that money was wasted on these classes because of a bad mouthing professor. You ask why is he a bad mouthing Professor, because I emailed my info directly to the firm that was offering the internships. Can you guess what happen next?? nothing, no response whatsoever, yet this firm has a ad on Craigslist for those very positions.

Question
Biggest mistake of my life! The teachers areQuite BrightOther
Biggest mistake of my life! The teachers are all very nice and helpful, but the office staff? Complete joke! Everything I have needed them for they have managed to mess it up terribly and cause a major headache! If you love waiting and dealing with ignorant people you'll love the rock valley office staff. Classes are super easy... Academic advisors suck..and its terribly hard to get an appointment at a decent time.. The internet has way better info than they do. I feel terrible for my nice professors who have to put up with rock valleys constant bs.. Even the teachers say it.
