The best thing about my school is that it isn't like other schools. We're a small, tight-knit community with an intensive discussion and Great Books-based curriculum. The students here honestly want to learn, and in times of crisis, will band together. You can't separate the community from the academics here, and because of this, it's important to everyone that our college is run democratically. We all have a say in what happens because it's just as important to each of us. We're not here just to learn: we're here to grow.
