Student Quotes
"I liked it here the first two years, although sometimes, I wish I would have gone to a bigger school. Now that I’m back for my senior year, I know I would have chosen a different place. There are just too many negatives in the surrounding environment."
"Going here has been pretty good. I’ve had problems, but I think I would have found things wrong with any school I’d gone to. I’m a skeptic, I guess."
