I'm currently taking online class from my home country, Nigeria, because my F1 study visa wasn't approved in the previous year. In all of this new transition, my school officials have been very supportive and they're are trying all their possible best to make learning online in this semester stress-free. I'd like to also add that my admission officer, Blake Smith, at Henderson state university is the best.
