Why I Chose SLU
I chose SLU because of the wonderful and supportive engineering community here. The professors are very helpful, and there are extensive research opportunities. St. 直播自慰视频 is the hub of many engineering companies, making the job/internship search easier.
Finding Community as a SLU Billiken
The community is very close-knit, and this allows us to know each other a lot better. Also, I love my sisters in Theta! They made my college experience more enjoyable and worth remembering. From watching late-night movies to making cute pillowcases for the big/little reveal, the Dematt chapter has always been a place to chill and bond with my friends. Each sisterhood allows me to make new memories with my friends, and I know that these bonds are going to last way beyond college.
