“I chose SU because it fit what I envisioned college to be. I like the smaller classroom sizes, as I can get more personalized lessons from my professors. In my experience, their offices are always open and they encourage you to get help when you need it. While the academics are what brought me to the school, the environment around SU is what made me stay and want to go back when I am not there. It got me out of my shell. I feel like a part of a community that gives me fulfillment!"
