I was immersed into an enriching environment where I always felt supported. I took classes that both challenged me and that I enjoyed, while simultaneously providing me with real life experiences. My professors became my biggest advocate; they were on my side and provided immense support. While the staff contributed to this safe and caring learning environment where I felt I was always welcomed.
