This is my second time attending this college, when I attended years ago it was a very different experience. The school held many events, frosh week was always a blast, the campus is massive, free gym membership on campus, and they have great selection of food, downside was parking was usually a nightmare. This year is a bit different, with classes online its a bit hectic, confusing and I knew it would be. In my course the professors are very supportive, the layout is making a bit more sense each day, the it department have been fantastic. One thing I will say is that it can be a bit difficult to get some answers from certain departments, but my course professors are doing a great job so far!

A great college, excellent faculty, and programs: check out the General Arts and Science Program if you aren’t sure about your next step in your academic journey - they also have a university transfer program. Why spend an extra year at high school when you can get credit for college and university programs.
