I’ve been going here for about 4 years, for the past two years every single computer in the library is slow. Slow to the point where trying to write a paper or even use the computer for basic searches is useless. Using these makes doing 1 assignment take 3x the normal amount of time it should be. Almost every time I go to the library there’s also a new issue besides the fact the computers lag so much. Today I just tried using SIX different computers and not a single one worked. When I asked a staff member she said it’s an IT issue and that all of the computers both upstairs and downstairs are the exact same way and they’ve been having issues with them for a while. If we’re all paying THOUSANDS to go here then why is it taking YEARS to make the library accessible to students????

6 month update,
Computers STILL do not work. There’s anywhere from 20-30 in the library that can’t be logged onto and it’s been that way for the past couple years now so who knows when they’ll ever be fixed. Those that don’t work also aren’t labeled. Do you know how annoying it is to sit at 6 different computers trying to log onto them just to find out after that they don’t work? All of the broken computers are set up to LOOK like they’re fine until you sit down, enter the password, and then it’s onto the next computer!

***5 year post graduation update. 10/25/2023***
I graduated in spring 2018 with an A.S. in CNC Machining. I am not working in the industry or related field for numerous reasons.

The one star in this review reflects professors that taught well.

However, the lack of stars in this review reflect a severely below college experience. Specifically, the small school size, lack of opportunities, lack of student commitment, and lack of interest in general contributed. Moreover, scheduling was a major problem between core and gen-ed classes. Furthermore, existing social circles did not allow for new people to immerse themselves in. (Quite disappointing considering how open, diverse, and progressive they were when I was there).

Bottom line: If you don’t mind the lengthy class times (up to 3 hours), scheduling challenges, and not having social opportunities, this is an okay school. Otherwise go to normal community college, earn your credits there, then transfer to a better university. Or start directly in a university rather than Goodwin.
