Erianeley - 03/03/2020

Personally I think it is a great college to study at, the teachers there are always there to help you if you need help in any class. The library is always a calm environment where students can go there and self-study and have some time for themselves. The student resources building has a computer lab where I like to go and d my online work and of I need any help their is always tutors there whom can help me out in case I'm stuck in something. Overall it is a really safe place it's really comfortable to be there and any given time.

Overall, I believe it is a great school with helpful professors. Sometimes partying gets out of hand on the weekends and I have to complain about the noise, but other than that it stays pretty quiet all year round. It is a comfortable and very student oriented environment.
