    The biggest bang is the experiences of my professors. As I mentioned they are willing to discuss their real life uses of the major and how they got to where they are. This to me is priceless because for those who may be first generation college students; don�¢����t have this mentorship at home. You learn just as much from their stories and experiences as you do from the textbooks and theories.

    Yes Fairfield is one of the more expensive universities out there, but I would say that its definitely worth it. Fairfield gives plenty of financial aid and scholarships to hundreds of students. There always appears to be free stuff. At sport events and even events on campus, so you do not have to worry about not getting any Stag pride gear!

    The only downside to fairfield is the 50K tuition and dorm costs. However, it is a private institution and it is also well known for its nursing and business departments.
