    The campus is beautiful and ever-expanding. With a view of Lake Jovita, a grassy field in the middle of campus, and a courtyard dedicated to the men and women servicing our country, this campus has personality. Walking around I always see people with a smile on their face and I can't help but smile back!

    I go to the University Center in Ocala, I take some classes there and some classes online! I love the flexibility that I have to work my classes around work and family.

    The campus is small and secluded, so if you want to leave campus you will need a car. However, there is almost always an activity, such as sporting events, mini carnivals, barbecues, bingo etc., happening on campus that students are welcome to participate in. There are a few fraternities and sororities on campus. Clubs and organizations are not scarce. On top of that, I love the people that I'm meeting here.
