The first thing I learned was my personality type, I am a helper. Also, I learned that DeVry University is a decent option as a school if you can't get into a traditional 4 year college. Next, I learned that there are many career paths that I have not investigated that could be a viable option for me after I finish my education. Also, I learned that the class sizes are very small so you can have a more one on one experience with your professor. Finally, there is no out of state tuition so every person has an equal chance of getting in and will pay the same amount of money.
