The tools and networking opportunities at my institution are excellent for my major. Although the town is smaller and less culturally and racially diverse than the one I am used to, I participated in a summer program for multicultural and first-generation students my freshman year, which helped me adjust and get to know some of the other students on campus with whom I could identify. It has been a lovely experience all around. I sense that I am at home here.

Particular highlights were the Music Tech module, learning about production, mixing and mastering, and Core Music Practice, which involved one-to-one instrumental sessions, giving us a broader understanding of our instruments and techniques that could be applied to them to build on our musicianship. The recording studio facilities and equipment are fantastic, with industry-standard recording/mixing gear and microphones. One criticism I have would be the organisation of the modules during the COVID pandemic, and some lecturers lack professionalism regarding the delivery of lectures and responses to emails. As this was a trying time for all of us, I think we would have benefitted from more effort from some, not all, of the staff to make online learning a better experience and have it be more interactive.
