My IU experience has meant so much to me because it has helped me grow as a person. I feel that I can be in the real world right now and that I can handle anything. Immaculata University has challenged me and believed in me. I feel welcomed and appreciated. Staff and faculty honor and recognize my work, which means a lot to me. As an RA and an ELP member I learned how to become more independent, flexible, outgoing, how to deal with different situations and how to make smart decisions.
My words of advice to get involved at Immaculata University are: ask questions, if there is something you are interested in and it is not offered, create it! Read your emails. Socialize and meet as many people as possible. Stay more on campus. Challenge yourself, and finally, enjoy what you do.
