This college is a NIGHTMARE. The admission is lazy and unhelpful. They lose your paperwork and don't care when they make mistakes. They maintain a monotone kind of attitude with you. The advisors are the teachers, so they are unavailable to advise most times and it's better if you do your own advising or else you will throw away thousands of dollars and lots of time in unecessary classes. The catch is that you HAVE to see your advisor every semester so they can take the hold off of your account to register for classes. Also, there are too many non-English speaking teachers that are extremly hard to understand but you HAVE to take those classes because they are the only ones available, causing you to do poorly and make your GPA go down. I took a class that I ultimately had to drop (losing more time and money) because I didn't understand the teacher and when I brought it up to my advisor he said "take a recorder in the class and then after class you can stop and rewind to decipher what she is saying". If you're off campus, forget about the lack of parking. You will pay over $100 for a parking pass(on top of tuition and books) only to spend at least once week searching high and low for a place to park because they will block off entire levels of the parking garage for special events that outside people will pay $15 a ticket for. Like they are more important than the student who are paying to attened class. Do what ever you have to do to go to another school.
