Merrimack College

I have always heard College being described as this grand experience where you will be challenged, meet these lifelong friends and have mental and personal growth.

When thinking about all the support I had during high school from my parents, guidance counselors, friends, or community to enroll in college after graduating, it seemed as if college was the only option that was available to me. However, the mixed messages
