More than a 学校: Melissa’s story
As a senior at Milwaukee’s Carmen South High School, Melissa applied to a wide range of 学校s. Finances were important to her, 和 vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 stood out 为 the generous financial aid package it offered her.
“It was the first college that had given me that much amount of money based on my grades 和 为 being a minority student 和 为 graduating from Carmen,她说。. “当我 looked at my out-of-pocket tuition, it was nothing compared to what I heard other students had to pay 为 college.”
Melissa visited campus 和 immediately felt at home.
“The sense of community is something you can feel the moment you walk into vnsr威尼斯城官网登入. Everyone says hi to you, everyone shows interest in you, everyone is so willing to guide you,” 她说. “Another vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 student once told me that vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 is a 家庭. It stuck with me, 和 in my years at vnsr威尼斯城官网登入, I can say that it’s true.”
