Freshman: Johnson College is the experience for people who want to do a trade. I’ve honestly been having fun the entire time I am here, and I don’t feel like I’ve lost track of much information at all. The teachers are all trying to make an effort to make you individually understand. If you are looking for a head start in tools. You’ll know every one and make friends with everyone in class along the way. The trade makes it easier to understand other people, because everyone has respect for each other. Last thing I’d like to note: This school is so hard to fail in, if you want education progress at all, this is your place to go.... Read 90 reviews
