I chose Lander because it felt like home from the moment I stepped on campus. The small class sizes and caring professors create a personal and genuine learning environment. The campus is beautiful and easy to navigate, with everything within a short walk. The tight-knit community made it easy to form close friendships, and there are numerous clubs and events to get involved in. Plus, Lander offers all these benefits at an affordable cost, making it the perfect mix of a big institution's student life and a small, private university's intimacy.
