The atmosphere and the community offered. I wanted a place that would feel like a second home and help me grow and develop as an individual. This schools location was also ideal because it is located in downtown Holland.

Scholarship :
I received one academic scholarship (the presidential scholarship). I did not qualify for any farther state or federal aid.

The faculty are very helpful and inviting. They are passionate about what they do and want to see students be successful. Whenever I have needed help they have been more than willing.
Hostel :
I lived at home during my first year of school and commuted daily. They offered different activities for commuters to help them feel welcomed and part of the student body. This was very nice coming into a new place.
