Kathy - 07/21/2017

It's a little pricey yet there isn't a cafeteria which is very disappointing... but it's a good things it's in downtown so there a lot of food options! It's really different compare to other colleges because what we mainly focus on is our career. There are some times when we do projects and it feels like a waste of time, supposably we would understand what's the meaning behind the projects towards the end. I normally don't understand it, but I still end up doing pretty well!
