Karinzza - 10/31/2023

I love this college because everybody here treats me like family, but not only that we all communicate to each other, and not only that we are one big happy family. No matter if you are friends with each other or not, everybody gets along perfectly normal and that is basically what matters. All of the teachers are always there to help you raise up your grades if you are struggling and they always give you more time if you ask for it. You can even become friends with the teachers if they notice you work hard.
