Student Reviews
Great despite the circumstances
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I started during covid, and I'm not the best online learner. I did good despite the circumstances because my teachers were very understanding and were willing to give me help and extensions when I needed it.
The dream like no other
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
My overall experience was fantastic! I had great professors who took exceptional care in making sure their students excelled in the classroom. The library and academic buildings were a great area to spend time while studying. What didn’t work were professors office hours as they usually occurred during other classes.
