“I just decided maybe this can change my life, so let’s give it a shot for three months... the first week was the hardest week ever, actually the first day… but when I got used to the place… graduation... I didn’t want to go home. If I could come back I would come back on a course again.” (Female graduate in 2006 from Westlake)
