I like the fact that you can borrow against your financial aid to obtain your books before class starts. You do not need to wait for the money to be refunded to you. The school is regularly putting on job fairs, little celebrations with food and drinks. The office of Student Life does a lot to make your college experience a little more exciting. They serve food and drinks for free about once a month and play music in the commons area. For example, on Mardi Gras, they served food and drinks, gave away beads, hats, and masks, had a band playing.. it was fun. The campus is nice and updated. I really do not have any complaints.

I chose this school to get my basics done with. I am hopefully transferring next year. Overall, this school has fulfilled its purpose and has been a better step than if I had chosen HCC because this school's setup is based upon a campus. They also have activities and student organizations.
