Rebecca Howarth Former Student - Last Attended 2011
Depending on campus, most items vary from teachers, students and courses. The North East and annex St Hubert were very nice and resourceful. I enjoyed being in class and completing online education. Very little help as far as the Bursar and Financial Aid at these locations.
