“The community feel is unlike any other college I toured. Mid-tour, I turned to my mom and said, 'This is where I belong.’ I know I made the right choice because of the connections I’ve made and continue to make on a daily basis.”
“I really like how our school is a big community. Everyone seems to care for each other. I knew I made the right choice when I never once thought about going anywhere else during my freshman year.”
“I’m a member of the CSB Dance Team. The first football game my freshman year made me realize I’d made the right choice. The dance team made a tunnel for the players to run through and I remember looking at the student section, my team and the packed stands and knowing that this was where I was meant to be.”
