    Small classes, the instructors know your name. Adult Students aren't as common as at HACC. Since the classes are small, the instructors seem to take a personal investment in your education.
    Penn State Mont Alto is a beautiful college nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. It has a top-notch nursing program and their forestry program is well known through-out colleges. Being a nontraditional student it is very convenient to commute to, it allows me to make it home in time to spending even with my family. The teaching staff is wonderful with being available to each student.
