This college is great for high school graduates and non-traditional students alike. The teachers are very helpful and are available for extra help between classes. The college offers many additional resources to ensure your success, such as: free tutoring, student instructor assistants and academic coaching for brushing up on things like APA formatting.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the college campus that you will be attending, and find out what college services are specifically available to you. Some students may be eligible for the Trio program which offers in depth career services and academic advising. As for financial aid, make sure to speak with an advisor early and often! Do not wait until the last minute to start looking for additional funding for college.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on the classes you are taking, some students may find the curriculum to be more difficult than others. It is very important to use any or all of the resources available to you in order to ensure your success. Go out of your way to engage the teachers on topics that you are having trouble with. Ask questions and participate in class discussions. For even more assistance, try working with one of the tutors in the library learning center.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I cannot provide very much information on this subject since I live off campus. However, I do know that the dorm buildings were recently constructed (Spring 2012) and include many useful services such as Internet, phone and cable TV. There are many different extracurricular activities to do in between classes, such as tennis courts, nature trails, and basketball.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Each student will undoubtedly have different tastes, but the Mariner's Galley provides many different meal choices every day. From salads and soups, pizza, and fresh-made sandwiches, to grilled tilapia and home style lasagna, there are plenty of options to satisfy whatever you're craving.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are plenty of things to do for fun throughout the semester. For those of you who are more athletic in nature, there are a handful of team sports to try out for: basketball, golf, softball, volleyball and tennis to name a few. The college also regularly schedules movie nights each week showing the latest must-see films available on Blue Ray. In addition, there are many local festivals and art shows to attend as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The campus is ideally located for student access to nearby shopping centers, dining, and recreational activities both on and off campus. Many of the buildings are newly constructed and provide students with a safe, comfortable learning environment. To wit, there has been some discontent among many students over the amount of additional fees the college has been charging since it has transitioned to a four year college. However, the overall tone about the value of the college as a whole is quite positive.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is rated very high in my opinion. All security personnel have an open door policy and are on site 24 hours a day. The campus is also equipped with security cameras, and many of the facilities are accessible only to students and personnel with a college ID / Access Card.
