I like that have fun activities you can do so you won’t be bored and in some activities you study and have fun at the same time. For example, SFA has a large pool next to a big hot tub where people come and meet each other so they can relax have fun or even study while being in the water. Some students even laminate their notes so they are waterproof! You can also go to there recreation center where all the student that attend SFA can go and rent any supplies they need. Some of the items the recreation center has to offer are camping gear, swimming gear, and other kinds of supplies at a low cost all year around. In addition, the recreation center has a mini replica of a mountain cliff that you can climb without ever going to a far away place in the wild.
SFA is also known for its wide range of careers with more than 100 different majors for anyone to attend. In addition, most of the classes are small unlike other schools where there can be up to 200 students in a class that even the teacher will probably not remember your name. Most of the classes are close together so it won’t be a long walk and all the path to each class are beautiful and has like a peaceful feeling to it. If you’re failing a class you can go to a tutoring class where other students tutor you so that you can learn faster. You can also study in the library and that the voice levels get quieter according to the level you are in the library. When you get to the last floor you have to be silent. You can also check up to 99 books out at one time.
The reason that I believe SFA is like AVID is because they seem like they’re all just one big happy family. Unlike other schools, SFA has students that can all relate with each other and help each other out in times of need just like our AVID class is today. Even though SFA is a whole lot bigger than AVID you can still see the connection everyone has and the impact they have on each other. I also believe that if everyone is like a family you would be more likely to pass all your classes and all the challenges you come face to.
My main point is that after seeing many different schools in AVID I still believe that SFA is better fit for me as a learning environment for my future career and a place where I can make and learn from my mistakes. If you want to have fun, have a good education, and earn a degree you should come to SFA.
