School Reviews
1 2/15/2021
I would not recommend this school., Teachers and faculty really do not seem to care about the students. The administration seems to favor the male population, and the bullying is outrageous. I have had friends ask me about this school, and I respond by telling them if they have another choice, by all means make it somewhere else than here. The academic programs are ok.
