College was great. I knew I wanted to get out of my hometown, and while I had the option to have a “free ride” for 2 years at community college and then 2 years at college, I was ready to get out of there. And I’m so glad I made that decision, because I had the best college experience ever.

RU is a work-hard-party-hard, research-focused university in the middle of a North Jersey city. Each campus is in a different part of the city, and you have the train station that connects you to New York and Philly. I truly feel like I got lucky with my college experience. I learned so much about people, my studies, my hobbies, and I got way more out of my shell than I already was. I truly feel like college helped shaped who I am today and I met some well-rounded people who care about making an impact on the world.
