When you were younger, did you ever get separated from your parent and not know what to do or whom to go to for assistance, and because you didn’t know what to do you just wandered aimlessly around? I know I have, and that’s what a lot of people who are lost like that do. In fact, that happens a lot here with new students.

But it’s often thought that being comfortable shouldn’t prioritize over classes and what matters is getting work done. But what most don’t realize is that it’s virtually impossible for people like us to focus on work if we feel out of place in our everyday environment. But this program would allow
