Why Ҵý?
“I chose Ҵý because no other school felt like Ҵý. From the moment I was a prospective applicant, through the anxious wait for my decision, to stepping onto campus for the first time, I felt an undeniable sense of community from my fellow Ҵý peers. As a first-generation student, I’ve realized this sense of belonging is crucial to thriving in college.”
