Quinton from Baltimore, MD
Coppin State University has a small student to teacher ratio which is great because you can develop a relationship with your teacher. I like that I have a lot of resources available on campus and there is always someone there to help me. Attending Coppin has taught me a lot about time management and myself in general.
