Terrible.BrightUndecided
Terrible.
The buildings are in awful condition. I was fortunate enough to have a private bath, but I really wish I didn't. The room was a combination of mold, rust, and water stains. The tiles would fall off of the wall due to mold; I would usually just tape them back on. The bath tub was a molded over black tub with a thin piece of white plastic over it, I know this because while trying to scrub the tub, the plastic peeled back.

A heating pipe burst over my bed.
I can count with my fingers how many warm (hot is totally out of the questions) showers I took.
The heaters in general never work, the floors are warped, and walls have noticeable water damage.
The faculty as a whole leaves much to be desired. The majority of the professors I had were close-minded and lazy. Classes were either wasted by giving the time to students to do their homework, which should already been done, or with playing games. Or classes were cancelled. Any questions as why they conduct their courses in such a way, results in the student being kicked out.

Between the poor faculty and horrible living situations, I don't understand how they get off charging 40+ grand a year.If you're interested in this area of New Hampshire, I recommend New England College or University of New Hampshire.

Question
I love CSC.BrightNursing
I love CSC. I truly do. However, the quality of the education I have recieved for $40,000 is not quite what I had expected. The professors of the nursing program are not nice, in any way. They never want to help you, and I often find myself not learning enough.

Question
CSC can be the perfect fit for someBrightPsychology
CSC can be the perfect fit for some individuals, but it's definetly not for everyone. I wanted to attend an institution that would allow me to get involved, be comfortable and be one where I would find approachable faculty. I loved the small and supportive community of the campus as well as the town of New London. If you are not looking for an experince that will get you outside and enjoying the snow-it may not be for you. I loved the free ski pass!
