2/5
It's not a bad campus, and the staff isn't all bad. But I still feel like this place failed me in more ways then one.
Long story short, I was part of a class (sustainable energy) that had the first year being taught by a man who very clearly had no idea what he was doing. He would compare a car and home to being identical electrically, often taught himself the coursework literal minutes before a class, and often lost paperwork. He actually vanished (later to be found in Mexico, I wish I was joking) during finals. Due to some of his traits, I failed a class (again, lost paperwork). Point I'm getting at is that is very discouraging for me to want to go back and finish my classes knowing that they allowed such an under-qualified man to be a teacher here.
Due to personal issues with family and FAFSA, I was unable to go back for the second half of the program. As I was entering the main shop area for the classes to empty my locker, I was treated like I was giving up by the second year teacher. Again, I wanted to complete my degree, but due to matters outside my own hands, I couldn't.
After time passed that allowed me to try and go back without needing to be tied to a parent, I was faced with some more lack-luster treatment. I was basically told the program changed, and most of my credits were useless. I'm sure this is true, but the staff didn't really do much or offer up any sort of alternate options.
Reading other reviews, I know this is not typical of the school. But everything that happened to me left a bitter taste in my mouth. So much so my desire for higher learning has been whipped away.
