Is there mostly young teens that go here? How many 23 or 24 year olds here, you think?

I am writing here to clear up a few things that have been said by others visiting this site. Yes, the majority of the residential students attending are African American. Does that mean that if you're white you'll be blatantly ignored and trampled? No. I've been here over a month now, and I do intend to stay a full year or more if necesary, and I have yet to see any real confrontations or issues stemming from race. A few individuals seem to be a tad bit misguided, and you'll find that true all over America, but the vast majority will treat you the way you ask to be treated. Show respect to your peers, and they'll respect you. Note that I am writing this on February 16 of 2011. I didn't read when the other reviews were made, but I feel it is safe to say that the individuals who had a bad experience at this or ANY Job Corps center were the same ones not doing what they were supposed to be doing. No, the food is not 4-star gourmet. No, the beds are not temper-pedic matress's. Deal with it.
