I was able to save a lot of money and work on my academics from the comfort of my own home, which worked really well for me. I would also like to mention Heidi Rife, who was always so communicative and helpful. She was a big influence on helping me navigate my classes and deadlines, so I was never stressed. I recommend LSSU to anyone who is looking into their programs!”
Roberge states, “I am extremely thankful for the regional center and the opportunities it offered. It gave me the flexibility to simultaneously work full time and earn a college degree, with the benefit and convenience of living in my hometown. Additionally, there are many scholarships available to help students with tuition costs.”
