“You won’t know what works for you until you try it out. I thought I wanted to go to a really big university, and it turns out that wasn’t a good fit for me. Transferring to UCM was the best decision I could have made for my education, and I’m much happier here than I was at my previous university. Whether you’re coming from a smaller school or a bigger school, UCM is the perfect size. Classes aren’t too big, professors are caring and willing to help and there are so many resources on campus designed to help students succeed.”

– Alleyiana Brown | Speech Language Pathology | Kansas City, Missouri
