Well, there're many good men have lost their life for the railroad company When they give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia, said, "Steve, you's way behind. This is not 38, but it's little 97, You must put her in Spencer on time." Steve, he smiled when he said to his black and dusty fireman, "Throw me in a little more coal, and as soon as we cross this White Oak Mountain you can watch my driver roll." It was mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville, the line on a 3-mile grade. It were on that hill where he lost his air brakes. You can see what a jump he made Steve come down that hill makin' 90 miles an hour, his whistle began to scream. Steve was found in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle and scalded to death by the steam Steve, he had a little wife and also two children, who were lyin' at home in bed. They received the sad message saying, "Husband and father now'm is lyin' in North Danville, dead."

This is a great City underrated City located kind of in the middle of nowhere close to the Virginia Carolina border. It has a bloody history in the struggle for racial equality, and a tiny little downtown that is like a fun-sized happy meal of a downtown. It's super cute. There's not a lot of good stuff to eat, but there are a few hidden homestyle gems. This part of Virginia honestly has much more in common with West Virginia than it does Northern Virginia. If John Elway won't, ask Marino, because Danville.

They claimed they changed their refund policy on the exact same day we unenrolled, yet they have repeatedly refused to provide documentation of this supposed policy change. This behavior is unprofessional, unethical, and predatory -- especially toward a 19-year-old who was simply trying to pursue an education. There are plenty of reputable programs out there. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Administration stealing from the school. Now students account holding student funds. Keep saying…read morethere is an Audit going on which I get because of the stealing of funds. It's ridiculous, the student's have been out of school for more than two months and still no date of refund. Don't let the coaching staff hype you up about your player playing at this school. Losing season last year and the head coach allows bullying and hazing. If you have football players please check on your player. There's a lot thats being done and some players don't speak up. Don't let the holy head coach convince you that everything is alright because it's not. He can keep those preaching lies. Glad my child is out of this school.
