Personal Finance Class at STCC...

​Last Tuesday evening, I was honored to be a "special guest speaker" for another Personal Finance class. This time at Springfield Technical Community College in Springfield, MA.  Nothing like addressing a room full of college students to get your nerves going!  The topic for the evening's lecture was "renting vs buying".  I teamed up with loan officer, Anne Johnson again for this event and she handled the financing portion of the lecture.  I discussed my point of view as a realtor.  The class was great!  Full of bright students with excellent questions.  

The campus at STCC was bigger than I expected and is full of cool old buildings, so I looked it up and learned...

Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) is the only polytechnic community college in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, located in the city of Springfield. Built on the site of the Springfield Armory National Park, which was founded by Henry Knox and George Washington during the Revolutionary War, Springfield Technical Community College now occupies many of the buildings used by the U.S. Armory at Springfield prior to its closure in 1969.
While 20 acres of the 55-acre site remain in the hands of the U.S. National Park Service for historic preservation, 35 acres are used by the college. Numerous historic buildings have been repurposed as classrooms in addition to newer facilities built on site.

After class Anne and I explored a little, found a cool mural and made this silly video... 

​​A big thank you to Professor Rick Sprinthall for having us and to the students for engaging us with great questions!  Go forward informed future home buyers! 

Make a meme of yourself, it's fun.
