ADVICE FROM EREN

  • Recommended Resource: The gym we have on campus for students. It's a great way to blow off steam from the stressors of life and its free.
  • Reflection: I wish I was more involved in campus life.

ADVICE FROM EDDIE

  • Recommended Resource: Tutoring: During my undergraduate years, tutoring was what helped me pass most of my college classes. I think it's great that SAC offers virtual tutoring, in addition to in-person tutoring. At my university, we had only one in-person tutoring time available. If you missed that, you did not get tutoring for that day or sometimes for the week.
  • Reflection: I wish I attended a college out of city or state. I love travelling and visiting new places. Two to four years in a new city sounds like a great experience.
