Pros

Nice campus, access to good gym

Cons

The unspoken rule here is that students are given A grades unless they simply neglect to turn in an assignment. I regret sending my kids here. The academic standards are abysmal. My kids struggled their first year of college because they were not at all prepared. Why push when the kids who do next to nothing also get As? Also, the school is managed by people who have never worked anywhere but Gilmour, and the result is that the culture is insular and behind the times. Fresh ideas can't gain any traction, in the business office or anywhere else.

Pros

Staff and faculty are skilled and knowledgeable, but undervalued by the administration. A nice community to be a part of if you keep your head down.

Cons

Leadership is non-existent, and faculty are left to figure things out on their own. Pay is low compared to private schools of similar size and tuition, and taking on additional responsibility is not rewarded.
