Keystone has been an easy transition for me. If you need anything or have even the smallest question, the professors will help you with no hesitation. They take their time to get to know you as a person, not just a student. Keystone has taught me life skills that I never would have learned back home. I have not once regretted my decision to come to La Plume.
