Student Experiences

“Make this class one of your priorities. It is a great building block to get you started with college.”

“I just want to say that this course was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my Education. I definitely made friends and resource connections through this class.”

“This course really did keep me on track especially with me working a lot this semester.”

“this class really helped me realize why [I] am back in school. at first I was annoyed that i had to take this class, but after a few weeks I quickly realized that I was learning lot about myself and why I learn the way that I do.”

“This course has been the most beneficial to my learning!...It is easy to justify that it doesn’t come as easy to others like me but that doesn’t give me a reason to fall short. Strategic[ally] working hard will change results.”
