Why I Chose BC:
I chose to attend Berkeley Carroll because it was recommended to me by a family friend who went here. They told me a lot about the good things BC has to offer, which inspired me to start my own journey at BC. 
 
My BC is…supportive.
When I first came to BC, I was nervous about finding my place at school and creating friendships with new people. As I spent more time at BC, I formed a strong support system of close friends and caring teachers, which helped me thrive socially and feel welcomed in the community. I love how BC provides many opportunities for students and faculty to connect with each other through affinity groups, spring intensives, etc.
