College Advice on Flathead Valley Community College |
Question: What do you think of FLATHEAD COMMUNITY COLLEGE (Kalispell, MONTANA)?Give me some information, I might enter there to study the first two years of physics. Later, I will change to Montana State University to continue studying physics.48 months ago
Best AnswerI live near Kalispell, and have known numerous people who have attended the college here and have been quite happy with it.. I do not know how it would be as far as physics. I do know that it would be less costly to attend the college here than to attend Montana state. Probably a good place to start out. Are you from Montana? |
