student income

Westwood College, based in Denver, Colorado, with 17 campuses and online classes (think “University of Phoenix”), has this graphic on their website that details student spending.

But, as I graduate a week from today, I figured I should give it a go myself. Rather than discuss the origins of Onward State like Evan,  I’d just like to briefly thank a few individuals who have defined my Penn State experience.
