The Gjerde Room was amazing! The set up of chairs, the high ceiling, and stage presence is…read morecomfortable. The space does not seem like it is in the same area as the student hub.

Columbia Basin is a two year college. It serves all three of the tri-cities and their surrounding…read morecommunities. They offer a variety of two year degrees and offer affordable classes for people transferring on to four year schools. The office personnel are not very good at dealing with the public. They seem to forget that we pay their salaries and without us they would not have a job. They are not very efficient or helpful with your concerns. I would suggest handling as much of your issues online that you can. They don't deserve any stars for customer service. They campus is kept clean. There are projects going on constantly to improve amenities. The ambiance is generally quite easygoing. Students range from post high school to seniors but average age seems to be early to mid twenties. The biggest problem seems to be parking at prime class times between 8am and noon. Taking that into account they deserve a half star. The faculty is generally very knowledgable in their respective subjects. The technical trade departments are in touch with current trends in the work force and seem to have many connections in the community. The professors in general care about students that want to work hard and are willing to take extra time to help with learning. The tutor center usually has very competent people staffing it. If you apply yourself they go the extra mile for you. All in all it's a solid three stars

It took 1 month to even get Charter to acknowledge she graduated. She can't start the job without the license. For the money they receive -- 26k, they should be a well-oiled machine. On the organizational side, high school kids would do better. There is no excuse for the incompetence!
