So why did you choose Corn in there? Um, it's kind of an interesting story, so I'm actually a transfer student here. This is my sophomore year, but I did my whole freshman year at Suffolk University, which is another scream really close by in Boston. I decided to transfer to Gordon because I was new Christian at the time, and I felt like I'd be more comfortable in a Christian environment. Um, and I knew that Gordon had a really strong community of faith and also that, um, the academics are comparable to stop making virtually on about the psychology department here is great. So that's why I decided tio here and eventually transferred. Uh, and I'm planning to minor biblical studies as well. How would you describe the academic climate? Because I know you mentioned that. So when I was looking at transferring here online, it said that, um, Gordon's kind of like academics were comparable the suffix, but I would definitely say so, Like kind of a mid tier private school like it's not super easy, but it's not like I beat league love locking them in either. Actually being here, I would say that Gordon is a lot more rigorous. Um, it doesn't mean that it's harder on the core. They're not too hard, but they definitely challenging more within your major. I would say, here it Gordon, like, at least within the psychology department, they teach you on subjects a lot more, Uh, specifically, um, so there's a lot more specific information you have to do, um, and learn. Uh, it's a little more challenging that way, but I'd say it's definitely worth it, because, uh, I feel like, um, I'll be walking away from here. Then if I wasn't as challenged, and how would you describe the student body here? Um, I would describe the student body at Gordon is very studious. Um, if you're looking for that uh, Gordon is not this goal for you. Uh, I would say the student body at Gordon is like, weirdly nice. Like, even if you don't know somebody like, you know, they might talk to you like, ask you how you're doing, even if you don't know them. Super Well, people are really willing to help other people out, which is something that I've noticed that Gordon, and there's just, like a really strong sense of community here. There's a lot of, like religious groups that meet on campus Christian religious groups. Um, outside of just going to chapel and complication. You can really tell that this student's here really passionate about their faith and about Jesus, which is really cool. What is one of your favorite parts of our Gordon? And what's one of your least favorite would not have tio. Anyway, I have to do with the student body that you mentioned or the fief, um, kind of environment here. Yeah, So I would say my favorite part of cordon is definitely the faith component. Kind of like organizing chapels, organizing convocations, picking out speakers. Um, I was really touched, especially this year by deep faith. Which is a week where you have more chapels in usual. We have one Pastor Teo, lead us through deep faith week. Um this student's, um, just have such a heart for God on campus. You really see that in their interactions with their professors? Um, how they, you know, treat their academics and take it a little more seriously on DH. Just kind of how they live out their lives. A cz being life for Jesus, which I think is really cool. Last year in Boston, I didn't have a car, but that onoff grams to the highway or so short and it's there's, like, yield sons and stops through trying to murder on the highway. It's really uncomfortable if you have a car on campus, are playing to drive places off campus, but you'LL get used to it. I can definitely attest to the fact that the on and off ramps really stink. It's like like super short when you're getting off the highway to come to Gordon, and that's, like, really curvy. So you have to slow down a lot of mourning, but is there anything else you'd like to say? Uh, come to Gordon. Um, a lot of people that I've talked Teo, um, say that they're not really looking at Gordon or like their parents are asking them to pursue it, and they're not really interested. Everybody that has ended up here is really told me that like they weren't interested. Then when they got here, they were like, Wow, this is the school for me, like or they really felt like God was leading them here. So if you're thinking about getting Gordon a chance or someone is pressuring you, Teo, I'd say it's definitely worth checking out.
