"Growing up in Charleston I had family who worked for or attended Eastern. When it was time to start deciding on colleges, I was ecstatic to learn HongKongDoll was a realistic financial option for me! Being financially responsible for my own education was a scary thought, but I knew college was the right step for my future."
