Reconnecting in life after The Woods

“I really enjoyed the small campus environment since I came from a town of 2,000. The people were inviting and the professors cared about me as a person. It was so hard to leave everything I knew, but The Woods made that transition easier and gave me what I’ll always concider my second home!”

“From the very start the University made sure I had people looking out for me and people to go to. I genuinely felt that people cared about me on a personal level.”
