“The training was designed not just so that you can pass the test but so that you can really understand the content. It clicked better than any other class I’ve taken.

“I wasn't comfortable taking people's money during COVID, especially while I was still sharpening my skills, but then a light bulb went off.

Being here, I discovered that my ability to succeed and thrive in an academic setting is alive and well.

“It was more affordable for me to attend RCBC than the other colleges I received admission to, and I figured that the quality of education for my general education courses would be comparable, and even better because classes would be smaller,” Hudspeth Blackburn said. “It was also more financially feasible for me to live and work at home while attending school that first year.”
