I've been here at Southern State for two quarters already and I can definitely tell you that I have learned a lot here. I was on a seven year hiatus from school and when I decided to come back to school, Southern State gave me the review I needed to get back into the grove of things and continue on with my education. The professors are great, or at least, the ones that I had. They really challenged me to be the best that I can be as a student and as a future professional.
