From the first step I took on campus for a tour as a senior in high school the first thing that stood out to me was family. I felt a part of a family as soon as I came here and fell in love with the school. This is something that I will remember and have for the rest of my life. Marywood has gone beyond the expectations of a university and have brought me into a new family.
