STUDENTS

College often is one of the most constructive adventures in one's life; it is an opportunity for individual progress and expansion. Undergraduates start to capture what they want to become and develop the necessary skills to be a successful member of society. But learning is deeper than what one learns in a classroom environment - the discussions which one has with her peers, the personal lesson gained from an old professor, the exposure to a different viewpoint. As such, a diverse student experience tremendously enhances what you gain from your time at university.
