As someone who struggles with chronic illness, I came here to do some studying so I can advocate for myself medically. I was able to gather the materials I needed and find a nice quiet spot with a beautiful view of the trees. Outside they had their pride flag flying high and that made me extremely happy to see that they are also very inclusive! The only downside was one child who was screaming on the computer for a good 10 minutes, but he eventually left. Other than that, I truly love the atmosphere here!
