    For the money the students pay to go here, you think the people in charge would put more of it into the school but that doesnt happened. The classes are easy, the dorms need an upgrade, and the office is a joke. This school sells itself as a great school for anyone but is actually a school who doesn't give a damn unless you live close by or are overqualified.

    Fairmont also has a list where you can get free lunches. One free lunch is down the street from the campus. Bus rides are free including going to other counties. My rent is very reasonable, its not far from the school you just have to shop around and compare. People from the town are very helpful as well!!!

    The tuition is not too bad however, books are very expensive and when you are trying to pay for everything yourself it makes it tough.
