The school is a joke. The only "qualifying factor" you need to get in is a working heart. I applaud their attempt to open their doors to everyone but the fact is everyone is not cut out for college life. The administration is a royal joke. They will make you feel comfortable at the school and once u sign those papers they stop caring alltogether. As long as you keep paying they'll keep screwing your. Coursewise, the school is competent, there is a lot of busywork involved however. But the coursework is about as positive as I can get for this school. Overall I would definately NOT recommend this school to anyone, it's overpriced and the administration will keep you busy trying to sort out your paperwork for the rest of your terms.

The first day of class was the forecast for the future. I was never given my chef coats. I went to the place to redeem them and they never had my order. I was without proper attire for 2 weeks because they didn't carry that size on hand.

The oastracized my instructor. In fact, I was hearing complaints from both sides - SO PROFESSIONAL.
The general education classes are bogus. And testing out is something they don't tell you until it's too late.

They don't supply you with the proper equipment needed for the lab classes. Oh, but wait, they invest in new plasma monitors for the halls to impress the campus visitors.

You can only hope to get the "one good teacher."
Now I have to start on the financial aid office:

-They never know what you're talking about
-They never know what to do about it
-They send you here and there and back home but still have no anwser
-They change things on you, then all of sudden you get this wonderful gold sheet in every class every day for a week.

-Refund checks don't come on time (with at least 2 weeks notice) - beware folk who pay their rent with it....

Our lab sink leaks
We never have the ingredients.
Copies for students are not free at the school store - one copy costs you my friends even with the outrageous tuition you pay.

I will say however, I have learned some, but not enough for what I pay.
With the recuiting fair, they asked if we had friends thinking about attending - I told them: Only if I wanted to lose that friend.

This survey asks me how challenging did I expect the course work to be - 1-5 (5 being challenging)....And why wouldn't I want it to be less than a 5?

All the potential students - don't be afraid to ask the STUDENTS if they recommend it because I doubt many people will see this post.

Not worth your money(The spelling on this survey isn't even right - hey yall it ain't alright, it's all right).
