I am a single mother and I faced challenges mainly with studying.  It was hard for me to study at home when I would look around and have so many other things that needed to be done.  Being able to come into the Student Success Center has been a huge bonus for me and has helped a lot.  It is always neat and tidy and easy to focus on whatever it is I need to focus on regarding school work.  The environment is good for studying, there is always an open computer, and the staff are always ready to help, and of course you can print for free.
