2023 Middle School Education and Teaching Students

STUDENTS

College can be an incredibly poignant investment in one's life; it is an opportunity for personal growth and development. Undergraduates begin to capture what they are capable of and learn many of the underlying skills to become a flourishing adult. But growth is not confined to a classroom - the late nights discussing Noam Chomsky with a peer, the personal lesson learned from an old instructor, the exposure to a different interpretation of the situation. Therefore, finding a diverse college vastly improves what you gain from your time at college.
