"In a lot of other programs, you don't get to develop the same kind of relationships with your professors and classmates. At Smeal, I wasn't just a number-I was a person-and I feel like that really enhanced my learning experience."

"You can see from the enthusiasm and dedication from the staff, that they are in it for us. That definitely makes a difference."

"If I were to think about the one thing that resonates most with me, it's the faculty and my classmates. After 22 months, we're like a family. Everyone has a different background. It's a very diverse group of individuals, but we've come together in a very meaningful way."
