    I like that it is a community college where I can leave school and go home or to work without having to come back to school just to sleep.

    Kirkwood is great! Community colleges often have a bad rep for being boring, but I've visited many other colleges and have found Kirkwood to be just as much fun if not more.

    Buildings are kept up well. Plenty of quiet places to study on campus. Other students are friendly.

    I am sure that I will enjoy Kirkwood. It is a short distance from home, the tuition is not too bad, and get to go to school with my sister!
