“I had a lot of ownership and control over my research and the projects that I was on, but I was supported by professors at the highest level. They allowed me to gain real world experience but also connected with me on a personal level. And you don't get that at some of the larger universities.” – David Izzo, Law Student and Master’s Student in Chemistry
