I had high hopes for the concept of running start because the faculty deceived me into thinking that it was an upgrade from high school, when in reality it regressed my education by about five years. The only way to survive any of the humanities or english courses is to nod your head politely in response to whatever wholly partisan political dogmas that the professor decides to shoehorn into class for the day. If you grew up believing that honesty and hard work lead to success then I am sorry for you because this school seems to treat the concept of sincerity like they treat white people: something to loathe and spit at on campus grounds.
By merely showing up to class I was above what had been expected of me and my peers. Rather than teach relevant information to the course, my professors would plug the non-peer reviewed writings of their friends and colleagues rather than anything with a motecome of reliability. The fact that anyone gave this institution a positive rating means that they've either never been there or have successfully entered into something that for all intents and purposes resembles a cult, and a shallow, lazy cult at that.
