Overview

Close to home, cheaper tuition. Being close to things you are familiar with makes it easier to stay grounded. Along with being close to home, not having to worry about how I'm getting home and having to wait on buses also plays a huge factor. There isn't enough parking, but if you get there early in the morning you have a chance of getting a ticket.

Fees

Fees are a lot cheaper then anywhere else, so therefore can not be compared to others. The only thing is an extra charge for supply costs.
