Why Choose Rosary College?

In the beginning, Rosary College classes were challenging for me, because they were rigorous right from the start, and I was still getting used to the format, but now, while I still find it very challenging, I am getting into a routine, and I feel accomplished when I complete assignments, for I know I can do it.
