The school itself is good. However the financial aid department is a mess. I dont know if it's because of their recent problems with the Federal Aid people (they are being investigated), but now their financial aid process is severely backlogged, and you run a good risk of not getting aid in time. They nit-picked every little document, wanted back-up documentation to support the back-up documents of the documentation I previously provided. On more than one occasion they just lost the ones I sent and asked me to submit it again...months later. My husband and I were both planning on attending this semester. Financial Aid Dept rejected documents I submitted, while simultaneously accepting the SAME documentation from my spouse (huh???). One person there would tell me they accept faxed docs while another said they never have and I had to go in person (I still faxed and they were still accepted). I've been through the process before at a previous school and even with the new requirements, this should not have taken this long. This school's FinAid Dept is very disorganized and inconsistent - in desperate need of a streamlined process. As it is now, it is a freaking nightmare of monumental proportions. (Really...this school has invented a new form of psychological torture and if you want to go to school there, you just may have to become the next variable in their experiment). I never did get my aid on time and decided to go to school elsewhere. So word of warning: if you plan to go here in the Fall, file your taxes on Jan 31st and start applying for aid Feb 1st. You will need all that time to get the aid at the rate they are going. And GET THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE YOU SPEAK WITH THERE. Trust me, you will need it because they seem to have different ways of doing things depending on who you're taking to. Good luck.
