The Teachers and most of the upper level administration are great and will treat students with respect. The lower level administration is mean and disorganized. The computer and networking on the campus is very slack and behind schedule. Overall, as a student you are treated as a sub-citizen by the administration hall where the goal of the gatekeepers there is deference and delegation. Administration doesn't treat there teachers much better because they write the paychecks.

Giving the school some credit, they are experiencing some growth pains causing errors that seem to be your fault so they do not feel obligated to fix them without making you jump through hoops.

So if you want something fixed with the University have your parents call them. Your parents have money and can sue if a mistake on there part is not fixed, therefore respect is paid.

Plan your class schedules thoroughly because some classes are prerequisite for other classes and only offered once a year or once a year by a specific teacher that fits your learning style. Therefore take your major classes with your general education classes so if your class or teacher isn't offered one semester you can try to fill the wholes with your gen. ed.

If you don't you can end up applying for graduation the at least a year before you are suppose to graduate and have zero feed back on the classes your need until the end of the semester right before your last semester.

I went through my checklist and I only needed two 4hr classes and they were offered in different semesters. I so I did my first 4 hrs and got a letter saying I needed additional classes during my last and hardest semester.
