My experience so far with LAPU has been super wonderful. I have an amazing student success coach named Ely and she is such a sweetheart. It is obvious that not only does she care about doing her best in her field, but she also cares a lot about her students. I have connected a lot with Ely and it's very comforting to know that there is someone out there that cares about my success.
