"I've come to love and adore this place. It's like a family — you get to know your professors and form a rapport. They challenge me to step out of my shell and grow into who I want to be. They don’t hold your hand, though — you have to use your initiative and be determined."
— Athina Saides, master's student in counseling psychology
