My daughter attended this pseudo-school for one year. We were both hopeful and positive during the application phase, and wished for her to attend a small, private school where she could grow academically and socially - and we were willing to pay the price (double that of a state school). However, we soon discovered that the school is sadly short of any challenging academic environment and it panders almost exclusively to low-GPA, B-grade athletes who are attending on the Government's dime. In short, this is an aging, non-competitive, third-rate school that is seeking desperately to survive on Government-subsidized entitlees, a school that has lowered itself to almost no academic standards in order to accommodate the under-achieving 'student'. We were very disappointed with the realization that the faculty had lied to us about extracurricular activities, graduation rates, further academic studies, faculty qualifications, etc, and were glad to end our daughter's first year there. At a cost of over $22,000 dollars per year, this school is, simply put, a waste of time and money. Unless you have lots of money to waste (or you're going for free just to say you're in 'college'), please pass on this pseudo-college. You will not profit by this experience. My daughter has since transferred, is much happier, and is achieving a better academic record in the process. And her new school is cheaper (which makes me happier).
