Maura

Freshman · Environmental Studies

I love the sense of community on campus. As a freshman, I was scared of how I would transition to a college course load. My teachers were there helping and supporting me the whole way. There are so many resources on campus from tutoring to counseling, clubs and review sessions. I never felt alone or that I had no one to turn to. The University of Dayton has quickly become my home away from home.

So much of campus is so kind. It's such a great community and there is a ton of support from not only professors but also upper class man that I've met.
