    I love my college. To this day, I have no regrets about my decision. I met great people that I will know and remember for a lifetime. I'm not a regular to the many social events on campus, but I help out anyway I can and I try to take as many opportunities they offer. I have a long way to go, but at least I'm not going it alone, and neither will you.

    I believe that college is what you make it. I do believe that as a student that pays out of state tuition, I do make the most of my experience in Virginia. I am involved in two on-campus performing organizations and my professors are always there when I need them.

    My mom is super excited that they have my major, and she didn't have to sell a kidney to pay for it. I think for an in-state student you are truly getting your monies worth!
