    RookieRoo replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    RookieRoo replied to arack05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RookieRoo replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RookieRoo replied to lgs21794's topic in General Students

    Why not switch majors now and save yourself time and money? even if you end up graduating later than you would have liked, it's better than going back. Take it from someone who is IN an accelerated...

    RookieRoo replied to la_chica_suerte85's topic in General Students
