I've never been to the 1604 campus only to the downtown campus. If you go to the downtown campus just be aware of your surrounds and never leave anything visible in your car. The downtown campus sits in the middle of the homeless shelter, daylaborer pick-up, and juvenile detention center.

The advices that I would give to a parent or student is to focus on the quality, environment, and personnel of the college because that would determine the comfortability, focus, and motivation to the student. Another advice would be that a student should try to get involve in any program, project, or sorority on campus because it will be a great background information on a resume or application for their future careers.

Take your time and research each school. Get an idea what you want to study, because some schools don't offer the field you may be interested in. Make sure to visit the school before you decide.
