My mom is a dean at a college back home so I based my decision on places where I could get tuition exchange. I was born in central Indiana so when I began my college search I knew I wanted to come back to the midwest and MC had a great reputation. I came to visit and absolutely loved it!

I love how the professors genuinely care about me not just in the classroom but outside the classroom as well. Here you aren't just another place, you are a person with a story and many profs try to learn it.

My mother moved here and I wanted to stay close to her. I first went to a large school and transferred to MC and found what I really needed.

I never thought I would have 3 different friends who grew up in different countries than me. I have eaten food from every coast in Africa.

my future.

I liked the small-school atmosphere with a big-school education.

I love how you can develop a good relationship with your professors and how willing they are to help you succeed.

I never expected to discover exactly how I want to live my life after college.

family and friendship 

So many ways I could answer this question. I guess I would say the sense of community I'm a part of, the numerous memories I've made here that I know I could never make anywhere else, the friends I've made. The relationships I've developed with everyone from friends and teammates to professors and coaches. There's a lot to like about Manchester.

Elementary Education with Mild Intervention

I never expected to get the one on one time I get from my professors.

At Manchester College, I found my bff Susan Purdy!! She is AWESOME!!! :)

The professors' amount of faith in the students.

make friends that will last a lifetime.
