    PhiladelphiaLove replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

  5. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

  6. Amount of debt upon graduation?

  7. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Some individuals are not fortunate enough to have parents pay for all of their college careers and taking out loans is inevitable. I don't think congratulating people because they have no debt is...

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to PhiladelphiaLove's topic in General Students

  17. Drug Testing for NS

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to PhiladelphiaLove's topic in General Students

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    I'm currently taking both of those classes and I will say, it is not easy. You have to devote A LOT of time to studying these subjects. I like to outline the chapters and then I spend a lot of time...
