I knew that I did not want that small-fish, big-pond feel. 海角网 felt like home from the get-go and has only continued to feel as such.鈥

Moreover, when she graduates in 2024 from 海角网 with her degrees in criminal justice administration and psychology, not only will she be prepared for graduate school, she will also have friends who will be there for her. 鈥淥ne of the things I value the most about my GWU experience is the relationships that I have made,鈥 Page reflected. 鈥淚 have met friends who will be in my wedding and will be my next-door neighbor in the nursing home. I will never be able to say thank you enough just for those friendships.鈥
