Grand Canyon University Reviews of Bachelor's in Criminal Justice

I’m a student right now and if I didn’t only have a year and a half left I would have transferred. They don’t care about the students they care about money. Things are always broken, a mess, or you have to wait over 45 minutes in line in order to eat because they don’t have an actual dining center. Those who are supposed to help you don’t and public security tickets you whenever they want and very happily. My degree programs professors I have lived but some of the electives I have had horrible teachers....

I am hesitant to write this review, because I don’t want it to seem as though I am bashing all majors or suggesting that all of the Professors don’t make classes engaging. In fact, quite the opposite, from my experiences on campus. I graduated top of my class and participated in clubs on campus and am currently in a grad school.

Beyond that, student services can be good (luck of the draw with what SSA or SSC or whatever they call it now) that you get. Good luck choosing schools, and make sure to choose one that prepares you for the real world.

The student body is so conservative to the point where it's practically full of bigots. What's worse is that no one has a clue what they're talking about because they're only basing their political views off of their parents opinions. In addition, many students are lazy, stupid, and want their hand to be held when they do something irresponsible that is completely their own fault. I am amazed at the amount of professors that are willing to accommodate a student's blatant negligence. GCU is FOX news... Read More University.
