It's Better to Have Your Own

Even though there are computer labs available for the students they do seem to get very crowded aroung finals,midterms, and the lunch hour. However if you do have your own personal computer there are many places to pick up wifi on campus.

It's Ok

I have made it my personal business to complete my FAFSA before the deadline so that I may qualify for all that is available to me. A lot od documents are online so I suggest keeping up with deadlines and talking with a financial aid advisor if you ever have questions
