[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would your concerns be (Poster 15:55)?

Thank you for sharing, I don't know the school.[/quote]

It's definitely a commuter school and a surprising number of students are second career or at least well into their 20s. During the 6 years I took classes there (off and on), I met few people whom I would define as traditional college students.

Certain programs are excellent with top-notch professors, but many are a complete joke - the programs and the professors too. [b]Administration extremely bureaucratic[/b] - I had little to do with them, but lots of complaints along the way.

Again, for someone who knows exactly what they are doing and what they want out of the degree - how to work the system, completely self-advocate and can handle the fact that at least some of their professors will be, shall we say, not bright - it's fine. In my case, it was a needed degree to enhance my already established career. For a young person fresh out of high school trying to find his/ her own way, it could be a disaster.[/quote]

This. It really gets in the way of some of the potential for this school given its location. However, it is funded by DC mainly, so it will never be able to reach the state school level, it will always be funded like a city college or a community college.[/quote]
