Psychology and Fine Arts

Every time I meet someone here the question I am asked without fail is: Why did you come to St. Lawrence? I grew up in Brazil, but went to an American school there and I have family in the U.S. I decided to come to the U.S. for college because I wanted a liberal arts education, since I tend to like different classes and want to explore many areas.

St. Lawrence is what I needed; it's small enough that I am not a "number" and big enough that I am able to meet new people almost every day.

St. Lawrence has given me the opportunity to attain several goals academically as well as socially. The psychology department is amazing. The courses are interesting and the professors are great, and both have helped me decide that I want psychology in my future. My intention is to combine psychology and fine arts into marketing and advertising. Yet that might change because there are so many possibilities here.

I am never bored with the social scene here at St. Lawrence; I always find myself busy on the weekends. I have met people from all over the world and grew up abroad, but I still want to see the rest of the world. I have heard wonderful things about the international programs St. Lawrence offers, and will study abroad before I graduate.
