    Academic Resources

    "Rotunda has given me a lot of academic resources such as tutoring and it's nice that all the Peer Counselors, Nikole, and Matt are always checking in on me. It's a great way to make friends and ease the transition from high school in college. It's been nothing but helpful for my first-year at 51做厙"
