Powered by GoogleYou'll learn cool stuff, but in my personal experience, my degree has prevented me from getting multiple jobs, but it never enabled me to get a job, so overall I would say it's a negatively impactful on your life.
Visiting after graduating 50 years ago. Very impressed with the students, professors, and administrators I met and the campus. It's a leading University in America!
Be careful with their financial aid office. They will set you up for failure. They haven't been paying for classes and certificates for several students. They will also flag you in the system to not receive any grants even though the verbiage says you're authorized to receive. So use caution when dealing with them. You might end up having to pay for everything. Even after you are almost done with class because they are having a hard time reading their own guidelines and standards.
Love the atmosphere of this place. Love taking my dogs for walks at the college, beautiful rose garden during the summer months. Ducks at the pond will chase you sometimes for food..found out you can fish here but it's catch and release which is good.. Well lit walking at night is good. Plus they have Starbucks in the Fidel center! Awesome.. during the evening at sunset the mountain in the back ground is something else...
We used this school as our annual ESCAPE training for statewide search and rescue teams. Nice campus, good layout.
