Accessible
Anderson University is incredibly accessible with the hyflex option of attending class in person or online. The professors are fantastic and the courses challenging yet doable.
Student at Adrian College
The campus is overall REALLY nice... until you get to the things that people don't see on a campus tour. The parking lots get so competitive and the quality is fairly low. The concrete is falling apart in pretty much every parking lot, including many pot holes. The actual staff is very nice and helpful, but administration is problematic because they value money over quality.
