There is no boarding for Miami Dade College. I work and go to school from home. As I go to a satellite campus (there are many around Miami), there is only the school and no areas for student living. It is best this way as it is not the biggest college in the first place.

It was close to home and included the degree I needed. I had beforehand experience with Dual Enrollment. My mother is also part of the alumni. Due to it being in close proximity to my home address, my parents needn't worry about me falling ill and being far away, be it from physical illness or homesickness. The curriculum is also brilliant.

This college was closest to my home and the best economically. It has a flexible schedule and I can save money on gas and housing expenses. The college, for the most part, has resources.

There was no on-campus housing for the school so people either lived Off-campus with others, alone or with family. It was a big commuter school in the middle of downtown Miami so there is plenty of access to free and low-cost public transportation.

Small class sizes despite being the largest higher education institution in the US. I also received grants that covered my cost of tuition and books which was really helpful and allow me to dedicate all of my time to my studies.
