Why attend MU: I love the small atmosphere, and all the people are so nice. I felt I could learn better with more one on one time with the professors. I also graduated from a school with over 2,500 students, so I wanted a change.

Favorite thing: My favorite thing about being a student at Manchester University is the social atmosphere. Anyone can make friends here, and the professors want to make sure you succeed. They know you by name and are always willing to work with you.

Never expected: I never expected to meet so many new people. I knew I would meet new people, but since it's a small school, I met a lot more people than I expected. Also, I never expected to feel so at home here and I ended up finding a home away from my home.

I found: At Manchester University, I found strength. I found strength to push myself with my education. I also found myself and who I really am as an independent person.
