“Transferring here, my first semester of sophomore year was completely paid for with scholarships and I only had to have one job, and it’s helped greatly with my grades. For the first time in my college career, I’m only taking 15 credit hours, and I can say that I have made it through four years of college without taking out any loans, which is amazing.”
