"I think Newman has a great value and I think it’s because you get to know your professors by name. The president of the university knew my name... because you get a personal relationship with everyone at Newman."

"I went to a junior college before I came, and it's really just a totally different atmosphere. The atmosphere was so friendly here, and being that much older than the students, I wasn't sure how they would accept me, but they were just wonderful. They included me. And then Professor Bontrager encouraged me to go on the Guatemala (Study & Serve) trip, and again I thought, 'Oh, I don't know how this is going to work,' but I made some wonderful friends and I just had a wonderful time. They were just so caring, and you know, I was probably like a grandma to them, because they helped me get up the hills and things like that, which was really sweet. I think that the friendship and the camaraderie was so much greater at Newman."
