    There is a lot of work. A lot of time the courseload can feel extremely overwhelming, but keep at it and it can be rewarding. There are so many places you can find help. There are also many activities and events planned for the students each year. Some of the events include Relay For Life, movies every Friday, Bingo nights, comedians, Human vs. Zombie and much more.

    I enjoy my time here and there are many things to do on Fridays and Saturdays. Every weekend they show a movie at the student center and the other days there are many things to do. They have many clubs and encourage students to make their own and get involved.
