"Everyone is so welcoming at Newman University, which I found really wonderful because I was so nervous and so scared. But I felt very comfortable with the people there."
"You may be paying a little more at Newman, but you’re getting an experience that you can’t get at any other institution. You get more sense of a family. You’re one of a few instead of just one of many. You aren’t just another face in the crowd."
