As soon as Giovanna made the trip from her home in a suburb of Chicago to tour 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s campus, she knew she belonged there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI loved the look of campus buildings and bits of nature,\u201d she says. \u201cI love how enclosed the campus is. You still feel safe and part of that private university life, but you cross the street and you\u2019re in the city.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Giovanna, a political science major, appreciates the independence that comes with going away to school, but also the support she\u2019s found on campus. She says 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s professors are always available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the most important is the fact that they have office hours so often here. The fact that the teachers are so willing to help you outside of their regular class time means a lot to me,\u201d Giovanna says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
