Hannah - 11/29/2024

There are several faculty at this college that will bend over backwards to ensure that us students are taken care of and understand the material. I had one instructor stay late just to let me take an extra credit quiz when I already had 100 percent, because I wanted to learn more. Some of my instructors almost seem like family because of how willing they are to help and support me.
