I like that it gives you opportunities to do good electives that can get you a job after a class. They can also give you certificates for ETT (Emergency Technician Training). They also have courses for carpentry, welding, cosmetology, and more.

they go against their own rules and the students have no say in anything that they are involved in. Some staff treat students poor, and other staff are bias about some students towards others

Gila was a good school to get use to living in dorms and the staff they are amazing, they teach us( the students) how to be respectful and responsible young adults. I love the fact that it is a boarding school and that its college almost but yet we still have RAs looking out for us. And you can get a job on campus like at the student union building as a student store worker or at the dinning hall and work at the kitchen they will help you get your foods handlers card also.
