WHAT I LIKED

What I’ve enjoyed most are the online classes that are available. I am strictly online and it has its challenges but the metro has great teachers and programs for online students. It makes it easier for me as I’m working full time and need the flexibility.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

The enrollment process was a bit confusing and disorganized. There is a huge need for additional communication.
