The school over all is good, the only reason I've given low scores is directly related to a very specific incident with a math teacher. The class size is wonderful and the teachers seem to enjoy their jobs(for the most part). I do not, as a small school expect parties every weekend to be happy.

My only HUGE and glaringly obvious flaw with this school is their Financial Aid Department. They are HORRIBLE. They are slow, and even vindictive. They sat on paperwork for my husband for WEEKS until we filed a complaint with the dean over the department. Likewise, every semester we've attended their fund disbursement has gotten later and later. It went from a week after verification to a month, for a school that prides itself in the non-traditional student, they do not make it easy for that student to receive funds to make things easier for them to concentrate solely on school. They also require you to have a direct deposit account with them, or they MAIL the check to you. You cannot physically pick it up from them. And the small print in their direct deposit contract agreement, they state that they can take money from your account if you owe the school money, before they disburse payments to you. I think at this point, they need to replace the ancient head of the department and get people in there who can handle the work load!!!
