Well, I went to this university some years back, while working in Europe. I'd say the only negative thing about this school were some of the fellow students, but I guess that's what you get, when you get a lot of military people who don't really care about whether they go to college, or not. Oh, well. Anyway, it was a good situation to easily get into a school in the UK that was within an American program. My teachers ranged from sub-par to excellent. We had everything from American teachers (some who should have stayed in America) to excellent UK teachers who came from some of the nicer universities in England. I was glad to get enough credits to my name to transfer, although I found the math and science classes hard, and left with a horrible gpa. However, I did complete half my AA there, and they did offer easy access to the CLEP and DANTES program. Sometimes the office indeed doesn't know what they're talking about, and books are too expensive. I'd say the tuition was midrange, ie, cheaper than some, more expensive than others. Don't "not" consider this school while you are overseas, however, don't expect this place to be like Oxford, either. It's in the middle. And you're commuting but sometimes they offer interesting clsses like British history or field trips to places like Italy or something-which many other colleges probably don't offer.
