Luther college Close nit community, supportive, and home are three adjectives I think of when I think of Luther College. When deciding on what college I was going to attend one of the ultimately helped me choose Luther was the community. From my freshman year experiences at Luther my peers on campus made Luther truly feel like I was at home. “Home” isn’t the house you grew up in, it is a place or places that make you truly feel yourself and complete. Luther, Spirit in the Pines, and my house I grew up in are the three places that I would call my homes.

    I chose to attend Wor-Wic Community College because of the support system that Wor-Wic has to offer. I applied to the school and attended it while I was injured with a traumatic knee injury and the staff really proved to me that they cared.

The late computer lab hours really helped me to be able to get my school work done after my night classes ended. Everywhere that I go I advocate for Wor-Wic because it is truly more than an institution, it is like another family to me.…
