    Hey look, I'm still here! I will finally be graduating in May after 2 years full-time and 5 years part-time. I've seen a lot since I've been here so long. My previous review still stands, but I've also uncovered a lot more awful things about this place, hence the demotion to two stars. The food is horrendous. Awful. Inedible. They force every student to pay a fee for the dining center every semester. On top of that, you either have to buy a meal plan or pay for the food. Both options are severely overpriced. The dining center has way too many administrators and state employees to pay, so they seriously cut corners with the food. Buildings are falling apart. They did just get some state money to do renovations, but because this is a state institution it's going to take years before anything actually happens. Yeah, and you look down the road at PC and watch an entire building go up in less than 6 months... The state unions here do nothing but protect the people who suck at their jobs. If you're ever trying to get anything important done with your academic records, expect it to be a huge project because nobody cares about you and nobody wants to do any work. SO MANY professors here need to retire, especially in computer science. They're teaching outdated software and skills that you will never ever use. This college gears toward working-class families, yet offers hardly any night classes. Balancing work and school is a major struggle as it is, and this place makes it harder. That ONE class you NEED will always be offered in one section at 2pm on Monday and Wednesday so you'll never be able to have a normal 9-5 day job and get a degree from here. If you can manage to get a decent job on campus, you may have better luck with the work/school balance, but they're not easy to come across since everybody wants one. New Hall is beautiful, but the rest of the dorms are gross. The two years that I lived on campus were awful and I was sick all the time from the mold and dust buildup. Nice things: BEAUTIFUL, awesome new rec center with free aerobics classes and a pool. Active, involved student media orgs that put out a great newspaper, radio broadcast, and TV station. Student Government that tries really hard to fix stuff, even though they are small in numbers. Lots of free help on campus such as tutoring, counseling, and career advisement. Some really awesome professors that go out of their way to see you succeed.

    I recently came back to the campus in which I earned my Master's degree to celebrate The Sherlock Centers 30th Anniversary.
