“Unity has been one of the best academic experiences I’ve ever had. Being able to pick and choose my schedules, what classes I was taking. When to take them, how to take them. Made it so much more accessible. I was allowed to still do the things that I loved, whether it be going for a hike, going outside. I was still able to do all of those things while still doing research at different organizations. So it was really nice to kind of get that full opportunity to do everything at once.”
