Outdated and costly
My experience at this college has been very disappointing. Staff members come across as unhelpful, and the food options are limited and heavily fried, which isn't ideal for daily meals. Parking is a major issue as much of it has been repurposed for a new freshman dorm. The dorms themselves are quite expensive and have had issues with mold. Many of the campus facilities feel outdated and in need of repair, and even the laundry machines have caused problems. Overall, there's a lot of room for improvement, especially in student services and infrastructure.
