The St. Lawrence Blog

On the first day, I was excited, I was nervous, I was curious, and I was ready to take on new experiences.

When I began my college search, I knew that I wanted a classroom setting in which I could ask questions and have a relationship with the professor. I wanted to be able to participate in class and have class discussions while creating close relationships with my peers, as well.
