Rating 5 out of 5

I attended this university more than a decade ago. This was an exceptional value and the return on investment has been phenomenal. I would highly recommend this school to someone who wants to minimize the cost of their education. I was fortunate enough to be able to work overnight security, while taking classes in the evening at this university. The cost was very reasonable and in fact I was able to finish paying off my student loans while working my security job. What I did was I took out a student loan at the beginning of each school year, I made payments on the loan every month from my security job (there was no penalty from pre-paying the loan), and so by the time I graduated, I had nothing left to pay in student loans. So basically, I got zero interest loans for school. Yes, I know my loan was subsidized by Uncle Sam, but the point is that I was able to minimize my cost by not paying interest out of my own pocket. When I graduated, I got a job paying over 50K.
