"The university also holds a special place in my heart because my grandpa and aunt both went here, and their positive experiences helped shape my decision. It felt meaningful to continue a family legacy and be part of a place that already felt connected to who I am. Being close to home was another important factor, giving me the comfort of nearby support while still allowing me to experience the independence of college life."
