Student Ratings
Adam Verano Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
The school is in prime location for me. The campus is close to home and close to my part-time job. I like the copy center because they help the students when they need any papers or documents that need to be transferred or printed. The LRC or Learning Resource Center is helpful if a student needs help with tutoring, writing papers, and also helping students with writing scholarship essays.
