Read What Students Are SayingEast-West University is a college where you can get all that you need. Although it's a small place, you see different races and cultures in one place. It's packed with majors that are on the market and thriving.
Shirley from Chicago, IL
I learned a lot from here. when you go to here or any college as a freshman, the first thing you should know is that you have to do a lot of studying for yourself and reading. When a chapter is given to read, do not think just because you have the book you already know the information, actually read it! Everything you here in a lecture from your professor is not all that is on the exam. Just be aware.
