I give C of O's english program four stars and absolutely believe the classes related to my field of study were top notch. More than anything, my degree at C of O taught me to think critically which is REALLY what creates earning power in the workforce. Because I graduated debt free I was not burdened by loan payments and actually started my own business less than 6 months after graduation, a business that is successful and growing now 5 years later. Success at C of O does require some surrender of personal liberties for your time there, but was 100% worth it to me.

Goodwill that the school does have is attributable to former administrators. Unfortunately, the current admin. has tarnished that image. I don't know a single alum that would give a dime to CofO and as far as donors, they made their decision to give back when Graham Clark was the president. If you care to check that out, look at their 990's (federal tax form for non-profits). CofO used to receive 20-25 million per year, however, their last few 990's have been under 10 million. As far as admission into CofO, well, it doesn't have anything to do with the ACT or grades. Decisions are made on income because CofO gets the 10 grand from fed and state grants, plus the students work on campus. Most could attend a state school for free on their pell and state grants. If those students wanted to work 15 hours a week at a real job, not weaving baskets or making fruitcakes, that income would be spending money. Preparedness: C, Reputation: F Have a Question?
