“You really get to know your professors. It's really easy to just ask them questions, to just halt class, to halt lecture and be like, ‘okay, I don't understand this. Can you go back over it?’ You get a much deeper understanding of stuff here. I think the professors know well how to pace coursework, so you get a lot more information, but it’s not too overwhelming.”
