Your success is their business.
Extremely motivating and helpful.
Supportive to all those seeking an education.
Tips for prospective students
Your teacher is your friend, seek help if you need it, they will help you!
Recent renovations made the campus stunning.
Academic Rigor
Not too tough, but not too easy. The faculty is reviewed many times by both fellow faculty, and students.
Dorm Life
There are no on campus living, but if there was it would be well reflective of the school.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria offers plenty of food all through out the day, and plenty of variability.
What to do for fun
Plenty of clubs, and outdoor activities to keep you busy and entertained.
Bang for the buck
The best way you could get pre-requisites out of the way before heading to any 4 year college and beyond.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The president of the school gets into some pretty silly situations.
Clubs and Activities
All types of clubs/activities are offered. Dance, video games, athletics, etc.
Campus Safety
Campus security patrols all day, and all night. Well lit parking lots as well.

While my experience is limited to one semester, my experience has been that teachers are interested in students learning and do this is non-traditional ways which include classroom discussion and the application of the psychology of how we learn. I've been blown away by the critical thinking that has been encouraged especially in addressing issues concerning race, gender, class and disability. Concepts are applied to real life issues so that students are able to relate to topics and retain information more effectively.
Tips for prospective students
I'd encourage prospective students to go to the departments of their intended major and talk to the teachers to get a feel for the classroom setting. While my experience as been superior, each student has a mode of learning that is more effective for their individual needs. I also encourage prospective students to take a year off from school before entering college. This will give them the opportunity to find themselves outside of the boundaries of formal education. How can you know what you want to do before you have begun to shape yourself?
Dorm Life
unsure. I am not sure they offer housing.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria staff totally rule. They prepare great food to order for a minimal price. They also have a nice selection of meals, ranging from sirloin burgers and sweet fries to local ingredients made into delicious and nutritional meals.
What to do for fun
Join a club, take a dance class, get involved with a local advocacy group or permaculture group. There are also tons of events scheduled during the class days that offer free lunch and entertainment.
Bang for the buck
So affordable, especially for the area especially considering the kind of academic thoughtfulness the faculty seem to put into their curriculum and classroom environments.
