Quote:

I had a teacher in high school who pulled me aside one day to tell me about what a wonderful community St. Lawrence is, and how he thought the school would be a good fit for me. Even though I applied to 10 other schools, I don't think that I could be happier anywhere other than where I am right now.

I tell the tour groups that I lead for Admissions that my professors have all been amazing, specifically in the way they cultivate personal relationships. I really enjoy being able to talk and actively participate in the relaxed classroom settings. I know that this would not have been possible at some of the larger universities I looked at. I can take courses in a wide variety of disciplines, to help me to decide whether medicine is what I would like to do once I leave St. Lawrence.

My First-Year Program has given me the opportunity to make close friends. Also, with the large number of organizations, I have found other people throughout the University who have interests similar to my own: student government, sports medicine and community service, all of which allow me different perspectives beyond the academic world.
