Well, the overall friendly ness of the facultyAverageBusiness - Management and Administration
Well, the overall friendly ness of the faculty is excellent, but you do have some of those older grouchy professors. Just this year there was a huge roll out of technology into the classroom, which does make class more inntresting. Some of the facilites are a big run down but there are major im provements being made to fix that. the new dormitories are finally being completeled(due to a battle with residents since 2002)

Question
The school itself is not all that badBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
The school itself is not all that bad depending on the career you are looking to pursue. You may not see much of the entertainment indrustry or have hands-on experience, but the faculty is for the most part very bright and I must commend them. However, the campus life is a disaster. More people are kicked out of these 2 small buildings than you can imagine, for rediculous things and withough a refund. They have unannounced room searches every month and you can be fined or thrown out of the dorms for almost anything. The dean and staff of RAs are incompitent and unapproachable. They seek out problems and are unjust to any arguements. There is nothing to do and no place to go and you are not allowed a car as a first semester student. And after 11 pm there is no food service. When the dining areas are open, they usually only serve fried food or left-overs. This has been a terrible experience and I will NOT be coming back next year. I suggest to all reading this to find a better school. This one is not so real. It is far too expensive for such for living conditions.

Question
The Professors Are great, the kids are prettyBrightMusic - Composition/Theory
The Professors Are great, the kids are pretty cool. but the administration would have no buisness running an elementary school(which is about comparable to the size of this college) let alone a college. I enjoy my classes, but the workload seems a little light, which I dont really mind particularly, but the only problem is that there is nothing else to do. with no sports program, very limited extracirricular activities, and a student body that is mostly commuters you activity choices are limited to sitting, which gets boring very fast...playing music with others (quietly though and not after 9pm at night which really sucks, because its a pain in the ass to lug ur gear all the way to the practice rooms of which we have all of about 6 or 7 and only about 3 amps between them...smoking lots of pot, an activity which can get u in trouble here as the cops are dicks, and the campus has a no tolerance policy, thanks to which one friend of mine has been expelled already (its only october) another friend has been banned from the dorms and must keep a 3.0 to keep from getting expelled, and yesterday, a security guard left the campus and crossed the street into the woods to catch me and two other friends smoking. he confiscated a 70$ bubbler and we all have hearings with the dean.THe weekends are even worse because everyone goes home. that is why I am sitting here right now typing up this review, because this was the most fun thing i could think of to do right now... :-(
