What Students Are Saying

Dont go into college thinking this is going to be a breeze, because you have so much free time now that you may take advantage of that. I knew some people who had that freedom and would just stop going to class, so you really need to take responsibiltiy. You have to also realize that you dont have teachers to write you up when youre late or just dont show up. Youre education is completly in your hands now, so dont mess it up.
Kim from Charleston, WV
Getting the PROMISE scholarship (or out-of-state equivalent) will take care of nearly your entire tuition. Plan out the courses you want to take well in advance so you don't get lost or sidetracked. And make sure you constantly stay on top of all your files and paperwork, just in case someone makes a mistake, because it will probably happen to you.
Tito from Institute, WV
I would recommend studying, showing up for class, and striving to graduate.
