Monica Willyard’s Education
-
Dekalb College
psychology 1991 — 1993
I left before graduating to raise my daughter. Dekalb is a fine 2-year school with more mature atmosphere than many of the bigger universities because many of the students are in their late twenties and are working their way through school.
