-: Well, I was the, I think, fourth or fifth generation
in my family to go to the U,
so we actually have a 1920s yearbook
of my, two of my great grandfathers and my grandmother,
and so, I always just assumed I was gonna go to the U,
and so I did.
I didn't apply anywhere else,
and I loved it that,
I loved that you could blend in in a large classroom,
but you can also raise your hand and stand out,
it's completely up to you.
You can have almost any kind of experience you want
in that setting, and it's also within a city,
so it's not, like, limited to that college town.
You really have a lotta options.
Yeah, I think honestly, the fact that it was in a city,
because I didn't have that sense
of just kind of being a student and only focusing on that.
I was working while I was going to school,
I had the ability to go into class,
and go to work,
and I had the ability to do some things online,
because there was some classes that were morphing into that,
so I got a variety of different experiences and exposures,
and ultimately what I put in is what I got out of it.
And so I think just that
variety of the setting,
and also the classes and the teachers,
for me, was really beneficial
'cause it allowed me to adapt it to what I was doing,
which was I was working, going to school, so.
