I am just finishing my first semester as a Sophomore as we speak. In point of fact, it is 10:20 am and i havent slept since the night before last because of work. This school is a godsenf for some, and a noose for others. Most of the people who attend here take an active interest in pursuing their schooling. Really, most people are here because highschool wasnt good enough, so they skipped part of it. Those are the kind of people who do really well here. There are a small group who come here because they think it would be cool, or fun to get out of the house, or parent pressure, etc, and that group of people are the ones who really hate it here. Essentially, if you are bored, and uninterested, and dont mind working your ass off, come here and get a jump start. The education really is top notch, honestly it is. Many of my friends and family were skeptical about the quality of the education when they first learned of my intent to come here, but all of their misgivings have been long since laid to rest. If you can handle it, come here. If you cant, dont screw yourself by coming here. if you mess up here you are in for a bumpy ride. One cannot really go back to H.S. but if you hate it here you dont want to stay. So if you are up for it, come here, this place saved my life, in a very literal way.
