I will just reiterate what I mentioned before, that whatever you put into your experience at the College of the Desert, you will get out. If you try to participate in as many clubs, programs, and events as possible, and just pursue your passions, you will never regret your attendance and your experiences that you will glean from your time at College of the Desert. I came to College of the Desert initially with the idea of choosing between two distinct majors, and instead a whole world of opportunity opened up before me. Going to this college has certainly been an eye-opening experience.
