    YVCC has made me a better person and is going to help me get my degree in sociology one day. I will be graduating with my associates degree in June 2013 and will be transferring to WSU for my maters in sociology. I am the first in my generation to graduate from high school and even go onto college for a better life. I hope i make my family proud and show my sisters and brother that it is possible to have a better life.

    A few teachers also have research projects students can help with. For example I help a professor with a chimpanzee project which has allowed me to learn more about chimps.

    YVCC is a very well priced college. Books are a little expensive but thats kind of how most schools are. After registering for a University i feel like i definitely got a great education for how much i paid, which now seemed like nothing! My professors were very well educated, my chemistry teacher actually graduated from Harvard with her Doctorate degree which is kind of amazing! I also played basketball at YVCC and i had some of the greatest experiences through that. if you can go to college and play a sport i would recommend it! College sports are hard but in the end makes you such a better person.
