 There’s something to be said about the feeling you get when you are on campus. The feeling of the city, buildings, and people blend together to create an environment that is unique. My gut told me once I arrived on campus that this place is doing something worthwhile and made me want to be a part of that. |

Advice to Parents
- Be supportive and encouraging.
- If necessary, help start the fire of college searching. It’s very important to start early, especially today.

Advice to Students
- Ask questions.
- DON’T let money scare you away from attending college.
