This school is strictly motivated by money. Their "strategic growth plan" has involved in virtually doubling the size of enrollment, and a $2000 a year tuition hike for 5 years, while not providing any additional resources. The school has run out of space so quickly students must now take ACP courses at surrounding schools. Also, the school has ingeniously decided to switch to a paperless campus. Students are now responsible for trying to print appropriate notes that are posted only minutes before class, at a cost of 10cents per page. Nice of them to play hidden fees on the educations of students they claim to be supportive of. The school also sees no problem in asking for donations from current students. Some faculty is fair, understanding, and truely caring…but they are by far in the minority. Overall, this school is so financially driven that they see no problem in taking advantage of the student population every chance they get. I would not recommend this school to anybody, and wouldn't even give ACP a thought if I had the chance to reapply to school.
