And there is plenty to do: nearly 200 student groups, with new activities added every year, depending on the interests of about 2,500 individuals.
Here, everything you do is related, and it all adds up to the person you’ll be after you graduate. And no matter what you try, or how you apply your curiosity and energy, people are here to help you succeed.
