The type of individualized attention
that I got at SUNY Oswego
it almost felt like I was always in independent study.
I mean that's the best way to explain it.
I spent numerous hours in professors' offices
talking about complicated sociopolitical issues.
The type of
openness and candor that professors had
it was truly incredible.
I learned about issues I never knew existed
before I got to SUNY Oswego.
I learned about movements
for justice
for virtually every marginalized group.
And the type of transformation
that I experienced
because of that level of discourse
and because of the level of attention
I can't even put that into words.
Now certainly my involvement outside of the classroom
in student organizations helped me to hone some of my skills
and helped me to make mistakes early
so that I'm not making them now.
But I think the most impactful experience was
feeling like the attention I got from my professors
and the environment in which I learned
was so rigorous
and was so geared toward my individual development
and my individual transformation.
I don't think that most colleges are like that.
I just don't.
You know, I hear from the experiences...
Hear from other students about their experiences
at their institution and I feel like I got something unique.
I feel very blessed and lucky to have experienced that.
