Read What Students Are SayingI see it through my french and the french cinema class I took. Everytime I watch a movie I notice things I never would have noticed before this class. And I can't wait for my Spring Semester classes.
Nathaly from East Stroudsburg, PA
The professors take very different and interesting approaches to ensure that their students have an understanding of what they are learning. For example, in my general psychology class my professor did different fun activities to get the class involved. Although the activities were fun it also gave the students a learning experience. Every activitiy was an example of the material we were learning. As of today I remember everything I have learned in that class and I took it last year.
Chanelle from Philadelphia, PA
I plan to work real hard at the courses for the 1st semester...I know I will learn a lot. I am so excited to manage my school life.
Hannah from Perkasie, PA
