Why did you decide to come to Saint Michael's? While I was in my senior year of high school, I decided to tour my top three college choices again to help me reach a final decision. During my second tour of Saint Michael's, I ran into a professor I had met from my original tour. To my surprise, she approached me and said hello. I was so shocked that she remembered who I was. After the tour finished I decided that I was in the right place. This experience gave me a great amount of insight into how personable the Saint Mike's community could be.
