| 5 I had the best time of my life all 3 years I attended. I made friends that have lasted my whole life. The education I received led me to a successful college experience. I credit my education, work and to a good life to that early education and dorm live experience to Rio Lindo. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Prince |
