Comments
Not anywhere near as prestigious as most of the other posts, but I killed my GPA freshman and sophomore year by slacking off. The 2 in studio art is a killer, only because of the money put into developing the portfolio for it. I'm in love with Simmons, so I'm really excited about the fall. | |
