    Benedict is an expensive school, so it can get tough. I really love this school but I believe the cost of it is a bit costly.

    No, we pay too much money ($27,000) for no reason. Local jobs won't hire Benedict students, the school has so many problems.

    Its way too much almost $30,000 for no reason, if you can transfer to a different and cheaper school i recommend or stack up with some scholarships.
