    In our Season 2 finale, five residents of our Columbia residence hall and their resident advisor discuss campus life, a day-to-day reality of attending the nation's only RESIDENTIAL high school devoted to agriculture.

    The conversation is led by student host Sara Corn. Adjusting to a new home-away-from-home is a vital part of the John de la Howe experience, and residential life is filled with food, fun, laughter, learning and above all else, personal growth. This honest look at life on the farm hopefully will encourage other Aggies to join our campus family! For enrollment information, visit www.delahowe.sc.gov
