<p>I also would like to warn prospective students to try to garner feedback from MANY different students at a college and not just one or two as perspectives will vary and each person’s experience may vary and not be like what yours will be like. When you gather a lot of opinions, then you can weigh any patterns that emerge.</p>
<p>Also, for GTLD…CC welcomes all opinions about a school and they need not be only positive ones. But there are ways of expressing about your experience that does not come across as bashing a school. You can explain what worked well for you and what was not appealing to you. In fact, look at the examples of some recent posts on the Cal State Fullerton thread by some students who are leaving that school. They don’t bash the school but they maturely discuss ways it met their needs and other ways it did not. They go on to discuss suggestions of changes they feel might be good there. Good honest and mature feedback. They acknowledged that the school was fine for those who are happy with those aspects that maybe were not as appealing to them personally. </p>
<p>You are leaving a school and so those who read your post have to realize you are coming from a point of view of someone not happy at that school. But you could have explained what aspects were not a good fit for you and what you are seeking that is different and what was positive at your school as well. It is hard to take you that seriously when your post is written in a bashing manner. Nobody said you had to gush about the school but explain what fit you and what didn’t. There are polite ways to go about that. It currently comes across as “disgruntled” student leaving a school.</p>
