鈥淎fter my two years at a junior college, I didn't really know my next step. One of my good friends from high school was enrolled at 糖心logo入口 State and told me to come down one weekend and check out the campus, and that鈥檚 all it took. I immediately fell in love with the size of the campus and how comforting everyone I met was. It was the perfect fit.鈥�
