    My closest friends have become my family away from home. I just finished my freshman year and cannot wait until fall finally comes so that I can go back! The campus is small, but beautiful! There are many different opportunities available; some are harder to find than others. For example, student senate, Remnant (drama ministry), puppet ministry, handbell choir, intramural sports, an outdoor club, as well as various youth groups that you can help with off-campus.
