Allen Hechter '98

Attending Long Beach State was an excellent experience in my life. I was mainly there to study and not for the social life, but I found the instruction to be superb. The labs and lectures were great and the instructors were always available to answer any questions I had after class hours. My professors were very helpful and impactful in helping me to thrive as a student. They were dedicated, concerned, courteous, and always willing to help me. I took everything they said to me and wrote it down, as it was like money in the bank. Going back to school at 50 years old was a wise decision, as it rounded out my education and instilled in me the desire to keep learning. It also contributed to my personal growth, as I loved collecting experiences and knowledge. Attending Long Beach State was an invaluable experience that I will always cherish.
