Why did you choose CAADat°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ?
I choose CAAD at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ because of the great programs this college has to offer at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ. I also like that we have opportunities to interact and network with students that have gained the experience in being at CAAD. Learning from the upperclassmen students, I want to be able to further grow the abilities and skills I have and learn to be successful in graphic design/painting.
