The class size and that I can have better relationships with my professors. I like being a name and not just a number compared to what it would be like at a big school.

I traveled to Washington D.C. for a three day convention. Also I am the Sports Director for the radio station. I do not know, if I would have gone to a bigger school, that I would have been able to have the same possibilities as I have at Manchester.

science! :) I was always interested in science but I never really thought I could make a career out of it. The great thing about Manchester is the opportunities for research. The experience here is not offered by many other undergraduate programs. The professors here really get you motivated and excited about anything and everything within your field.

Why I decided

I never expected to succeed as much as I have, go to bonfires at my professor's houses, attended VIA's (and enjoy them), meet people from different countries, be a part of mock trial, find some of my best friends, be a part of a learning community, and so much more.
At Manchester
