It’s hard out there for a college student. Most college students at Lee have jobs, are involved on campus, take care of their dorms or apartments, and sometimes they manage to find time to go to class and do homework.

This dust obstructs the cooling mechanisms and traps heat like a blanket so it’s vital that you clean it every so [...]
