Great Staff! Lisa and Vicki were great in helping me figure out a situation that I had found myself in with my roommates. They worked really hard on my behalf and were amazing on the personal relations side. They were really quick with getting back with me regarding my documents and next steps! Even had snacks in the lobby for students studying for finals!
