I really enjoyed studying at this university, I kind of just wish we had more resources for discovering what major is your best fit, as well as, internship/research experiences.

Overall, studying has consisted of staying up late to review for an exam the next morning. It also has included multiple videos to study with and quizlets to completely learn the material.
