My advice to prospective students...

is to never give up! You will have your own unique trials along the way but just keep moving because it will be worth it at the end. It's all about the time and effort you put in. But don't forget to have fun along the process!

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Chick Fil A! It's a life saver right after you finish a long exam!
