Every single professor I’ve had or worked with has given me the feeling that they’re truly there for their students. They want to help – not just by teaching the material, but continuing to support us beyond the classroom.
I love how the College of Applied Human Sciences goes out of its way to host amazing events that bring students together. Having someone who’s doing the same coursework as you can make a huge difference because it's motivating to have people around you who are striving for the same goals.
