Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Although some classes are introductory for new college students, or older people continuing their educations, most classes will push you beyond what is easy, and you will gain many new skills along the way.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are no dorms at this community college but the area of Killingly is nice.

The food is not costly and it will fill you up. The portions are decent for what you pay. (The grilled chicken sandwiches are fantastic!).
