Affordable programs in Michigan
I think this is a very good school with in depth and affordable programs. The partnership with WCC for a lower tuition rate is a life saver. I didn't park or live on campus, so I don't have an opinion on that.

My experience on campus and online are satisfactory. I enjoy the networking, student and teacher interface, the facilities are bit up to standards with laboratory and equipment and decent library with computer and a lot to research. Security system is ok, fun times are good and practical and trips are all encouraging. There are only few challenges, mainly because of the leadership ability. 1. Internship and job difficulty after graduation in even while studying. 2. Transportation and maintenance as a student 3. Low of international scholarship opportunity. 4. Low salaries of staff.

I am yet to start formal classes in the fall season
