Urban Assembly school for Media Studies helped me to be more outgoing. The staff and teachers are reliable, friendly and hardworking.
In UAM there are teachers who give you good advice. It’s like another home. A lot of people focus on their grades. I hope that UAM improves on their economics. I want to actually experience how to fill out taxes not to Just read about it. I want to learn these things before I actually experience it myself.
