I did it!!!

I finally re-enrolled in school, and my first semester back is this week. And I have the following people to thank: God (don't wanna come off as a religious fanatic, though), my mother (who is a living example that nothing is impossible, seeing as she raised three children by herself and still managed to finish college), and the wonderful staff here at Berkeley College.

I actually found out about Berkeley College via commercial and I contacted them further for more information on programs, specifically online. I had been looking at other colleges, as well, but what made the difference with Berkeley College was that I didn't feel enormous pressure from them to make a decision right then and there. The vibe I got from some of the other colleges was "either sign up or don't bother us anymore". And my hesitation to commit right then and there over the phone was seen as being indecisive or not so serious about continuing my education. Never did I feel that way when dealing with my admissions counselor, Mr. Anthony Villani. While he stressed the importance of getting paperwork done right away, there was also a sense that he wanted to help me out in any way he could. And I like that I'm not just a name or a check number to the staff; they want to make sure that I get all the benefits afforded to me in accordance with the Berkeley College experience.
