“As a commuter student, I appreciate the small class sizes and the opportunity to get to know the professor and my classmates well. Professors are always available to offer advice on a difficult subject and many classmates are willing to lend a hand and are there for you when you need to relax from the stress.” – Michael Flood ’17 graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and minors in Earth Science and Biology.
