-: So I look fondly on my experience at Western Connecticut.
I think it prepared me generally well.
I think as a student you need to look at,
well what else do I have to do?
It's not just going to class.
What else do I do as a student?
And I think I've had, and you can definitely tell it
in a student's resume if they've just been going to class
or do they do some kind of extracurricular activities.
Do they go into some extra clubs.
Did they seek out that advanced Excel training?
Did they,
I mean I had an individual I hired in my group recently,
like he had all these competitions that he went in for
financial analysis so I was actually
pretty impressed with that.
So, the one thing about West Conn is it gives good value.
It has great value so,
you're gonna leave here with a degree,
and let's say whatever you choose,
you know what, that degree is gonna be just as valuable
as if you went to like a Uconn.
So you know what?
You might be paying it for yourself.
So you know, from a return on investment perspective,
well you're gonna get the same entry level job
that someone coming out of Uconn
and I have plenty of examples where I could cite
that that's true, so,
provides a solid foundation at a reasonable cost.
I mean, if you're paying for (mumbles)
you're gonna have less of a debt burn,
and that's actually pretty important nowadays, so.
