It has a post secondary option. Which I want that as a possability. Because even if I don't end up going post secondary. I would still like that option. It isn't very far away from where I currently live. So I can still come home relatively easy, but it still allows me to leave home. which I want to be able to do. Finally it gives me a very welcoming feeling. It's modern and adaptable.
