Question:
Why did you choose Garrett College?
Answer: I chose Garrett College because it is a local college and it is free for me. It was the smartest decision to make because I can get my common courses out of the way such as Literature and Writing for free.

Question:
How has attending GC worked to your advantage?
Answer: One thing that I have noticed while at Garrett is how clean the facility has been kept. Every day that I am there I see people walking up and down the halls wiping down door handles and disinfecting classrooms. The small class sizes have also been a nice addition so that everything is handled safely, and this pandemic is being taken seriously.
