Horrible staff. Has too many programs and not enough staff members who can't manage them. Doesn't answer emails. Had to wait 2 months for a email to reschedule. Wanted to switch career coach's because he took weeks to respond to my emails but was denied. Told lies to me about their scholarship and how I would receive it within a couple of days. When the day came for me to receive it, my career coach told me i was not qualified after he told me I was when looking at all my info that was needed. Would not recommend anyone to go there.
