Westconn's English/Writing program was fantastic, but limited (hopefully that has changed). The school's faculty, though, encouraged me and challenged me to become both a better student and a better writer than I believed myself capable. Although I have strayed far from my original career goals and course of study, my university education has helped me throughout all the turns my professional life has taken.

My advice—when choosing a college, don't get hung up on school cliches. A higher price does not mean a better education. I work for a fairly high-priced university and have taken classes here, and, sadly, the level of quality does not measure up to Westconn.
