I’ve gotten to know all of my professors really well. I get a lot of one-on-one and face-to-face time with my professors and my peers. The personal attention makes a huge difference. I get access to a lot of amazing opportunities.

Everything that I studied came together in a perfect funnel — that’s exactly what college should do. It’s a real, true liberal arts experience.

I'm proud of the education I received from the Political Science faculty. And though it's been years since I left the halls of UNE, the professors that taught me so much then are still very much a part of my life. You can't put a price on that kind of unique education.
