MLS Student Vanessa Duran
When it comes to community, there is no parallel out there. I look forward to coming to campus every week and sitting next to folks who have become my friends, debate partners or people who I can bounce ideas off. It's the most supportive environment that I've had at a higher education institution and it's so nice to meet other intelligent, curious people.
