Somehow they managed to get my SAT scores but not my transcript, even though they were both printed on the same page. Most of the staff is very helpful. I've only encountered one rude person so far. I was offered a scholarship and when I asked the woman in charge when she thought that it would be through the system so I could go pay my remaining balance, she was very short with me and practically bit my head off. Excuse me. All my classes were very easy compared to highschool except for one. I was taking history, art, college algebra, and speech. Art, history and speech were a breeze. I never had any homework, and throughout the whole semester I had maybe two quizes and two tests for each class. My teachers were all very friendly. My math teacher offered a lot of help. She told us her office hours. She told us about the online classroom and looking at the book online as well as the tutoring type thing they offer at the college. This is all nice and everything but it still did not help. When I enrolled the counselor I spoke with who was supposed to help me choose the classes I would be best in did not even glance at my transcript. She asked if I had taken the SAT. I said yes and she put me into college algebra. When I enter the class, I find out about two weeks in that half of the stuff I had never learned. Turns out, to be in this class you are supposed to have a high SAT score and it's recommened that you take calculus in highschool because there is a lot of calculus going on in that class. I had NEITHER!! So I was screwed from the beginning. I kept up my work, did all my homework(when it was assigned. This is the only class I had homework in.), studied for tests, etc. I ended up dropping the class. When I started there were probably 30 students. When I dropped we were down to five. Obviously if this many people are dropping a class then there is something wrong with the way you are teaching. Also, all the homework and quizzes were online. Often times I would check to see if there was any homework that night after my class around 5 or 6. Many times she would go in after that and put up new assignments and make them due that night or the next. This made me miss several quizzes and homeworks and my grade suffered because of it. The campus is horrible. Recently they have been doing renovations, adding new buildings and stuff like that but it is still pretty nasty looking. Some of the bathrooms are accessed from outside instead of from a door in a hallway. These bathrooms are DISGUSTING! The ones over by my history class were especially nasty. They smelled, they weren't clean..just gross. The food is also horrible. They have a nice salad bar but the one time I ate there the food was not fresh. The lettuce was browning and the food looked like it had been sitting there a while. No one is friendly, either. I moved to Weatherford right after highschool so I had to completely start over. I knew no one. That did not change. I overheard people talk of fun nights out, parties, etc but they seemed unwilling to break their little circle of friends. No one branches out. No one comes up and talks to you or makes an effort. Everyone is exactly the same there. All the same clothes, the same hair, the same cookie cutter personalities. Maybe people didn't talk to me because of my mohawk(I'm a girl!) but I for one like to be different. I wouldn't recommend this college. It's nothing special.

Do not enroll expecting anything else. Most of the classes are borderline blowoff classes filled with intellectual bottom feeders. Hardly any students are engaged or attend classes for the love of learning or self-improvement. Occasionally you will find a professor worth their salt, but they are few and far between. Cherish them. They will often prove to be your most valuable resource when it comes to transferring. Use the small class sizes to your advantage and get to know your professors. And, if you find the rare opportunity to learn something you didn't in high school, jump on it like a ravenous wolf.If you are looking for an education, go elsewhere. If you are looking for a stepping stone to improve your grades before you transfer to a real college, apply here. Then just grit your teeth and grind away until you are able to leave.
