- I would say one of the biggest things about John Carroll is just the amount of support that you get from students, faculty, and everyone else on campus.
- One of the biggest things that I encountered within my first two years is just the amount of professors and students who are willing to help you navigate your journey because college can be overwhelming at times,
- but there were multiple professors who came in, helped me along the way between accounting and finance, looking for internships, looking for opportunities for me to excel, students who were willing to help me study that were upperclassmen that just wanted to help me carry the torch of being a great student here at John Carroll.
- That led me to becoming a Peer Navigator for students where I was able to take what I had learned within those first two years and pass it along to the next generation of John Carroll students,
- and I feel that is one of the best traditions that we have at John Carroll, where students are able to learn not only from professors in the classroom,
- but also informally through other students and help themselves better themselves as they enter a new chapter of their life.
- So I feel that is one of the most important aspects of John Carroll is the support system that you have here.
