I graduated from Benson in 2006. I know that for me Benson would of been useless had it not been for the four years. I went to Benson 100% certen I would major in construction, only to have my eyes open to the world of manufacturing. If Benson was only a two year school I would of never found that out, or I would never of been able to take all the manufacturing course. I spend three quartes of my sophmore year in manufacturing classes, then I chose it as my major where I took it for ANOTHER TWO years. I knew people who after taking all of the vocational classes still didn't know which one to major in, how do you expect people who have never been there to choose. It also used to take me one hour to get to school every day and one and a half to get home how would kids do that in the middle of the day. LEAVE BENSON THE WAY IT IS.
