– Thanks, Alex. Hey everyone, welcome. As a senior in high school, I knew I wasn’t ready to leave home yet. CT State had everything I was looking for and was close to home. From affordability, to amazing opportunities, I knew CT State is where I wanted my journey to a higher level of education to begin. I’ve loved being a part of Asnuntuck. Here, we have a great community and with local restaurants and shops being just minutes away, you’ll never get bored, not to mention the great resources that are available on campus. The professors here are always willing to meet with you whenever you need. They’re committed to making sure you get the help you need. Speaking of help, another great resource is our tutoring center. The tutoring center offers great help for any of your classes and with easy on-campus access, you can make sure you’re always successful in your classes. The affordability at CT State has been a big blessing for me. The Financial Aid Office provided me with scholarship opportunities. I found this resource very helpful when applying for financial aid. I knew that if I ever had any questions, they were there and happy to help. I would’ve never thought that I would’ve been able to step into the incredible world of opportunities that I have. This school is designed to help you begin your journey to a higher level of education. Whether you plan on transferring to a university or going right into the workforce, it is committed to helping you prepare yourself in the best way possible, and it did just that for me.
