Thoughts post investigation:

Before this investigation on Southern Connecticut State University I have always been interested in this college because it was so close to home. This college is good because it offers a lot and the tuition is not as expensive as my other choices. This would be a good college for students with a low GPA. But SCSU does not offer a lot of majors.
