I love the Stanton community there are so many amazing people from all walks of life and it's wonderful. Everyone is different and people get along with others they wouldn't have met without coming here. I love the education here it's a great experience to have. The things I would change is the safety for the students being around 8th street and moncrife is not the best. I would also recommend that the students have a bit more financial help since a lot of the activities cost money.
