Kimberly Salerno Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
I think this is a really great place to attend. They are friendly and very helpful. You have many campuses that you can attend that helps you to be able to take the classes you want. They are satellite offices. You also can take on-line courses as well as distant learning classes.
