The little voice in your head that whispers, “What am I doing?” wants you to think you’re alone – but you’re not. Everyone wrestles with “what-ifs,” “I-don’t-knows” and wondering what they’re capable of. The university you choose and the people you surround yourself with matter.

That “I see a clear path to my future” feeling. It’s different for every person, but it comes from the resources, opportunities and attitudes you’ll find across campus.
