12. Thinking of dropping out

    Canaan replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Students

    I can't tell you what to do and I am just graduating in 2019. I can tell you that I saw many students in my class struggle with what you are going through. We started with a full class and now only about 40% will be graduating. Wonder if you are "sma...
