From grade 11 to my fourth year of college, I attended CEU. That’s where I spent my whole adolescence. Growing up there, I experienced a welcoming learning atmosphere where professors made an effort to connect with their students and showed empathy for their needs. Additionally, the school has well-equipped classrooms for a variety of subjects, particularly those related to science. The fact that I spent my first two years of college via an online learning environment because of the pandemic in 2020 is just so depressing and upsetting. Still, that university was where I had made the most of my memories. I recommend everyone to try it.
