I chose to attend UM because of its strong sense of community and the opportunities it offers both academically and socially. Additionally , the programs and resources here really stood out to me, especially the support for first-year students through programs like FASTrack. Overall, it felt like a place where I could thrive, both in my studies and in building connections with others.

The FASTrack Program helped me adjust to college life, both socially and academically. Academically, I had a support system—whether it was for study groups or just asking questions about assignments, I always had someone to turn to. The required EDHE class was a bonus because it helped me understand the resources on campus and connect with others in the program. Overall, FASTrack made my transition to college less stressful and way more enjoyable.
