VIMS

Hello! Before I ask my question, I want to state a disclaimer: I am NOT asking if this college is for me or if I'm should become a Marine Biologist!

I am asking if anybody has any advice on the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is a good college, and if it is worth my time?

I am 23 and am NOT made of money. If there are other Marine Science/Biology programs that will give me better results, then I'd like to know before even applying and wasting my time/money. I am mainly considering VIMS because it is the closest and has very interesting programs. (For context on how close it is, I am going to be living in Western Kentucky when I would be considering starting classes [which would be next year]).
