  • If your having financial problems and are not sure about including tuition costs in a tight budget - I highly recommend State Fair for your community college. I didn't do very well in high-school, for many reasons, but State Fair has given me the opportunity to change that. It's hard but with support from my profs and gearing up for university to continue with Nursing.
