- We don't tend to get 3 hours of boring, long lecture...we discuss ideas together and expand on what we like/dislike about certain topics.
- We talk about real world issues and real world solutions
- We get more free food than your program probably ever will (seriously, free coffee/tea and munchies every Friday)
- We get multiple Orientations (again, more food), even though we're in third year.
- Instead of studying in libraries, we take social action and join city events like the Take Back the Night rally, a Mexico trip to help others, etc.
- The program isn't about competition and who's marks are higher, we work as a team and support each other
- Instead of 1000 people in your average Psych class, each class has about 20 people, and it's usually the same 20 people you share your classes with because the program only has 50 people in it.
- The professors are as diverse as the students...each is interested in something unique, and they are all either conducting their own research studies or just finished one and are all very awesome
- We have awesome Council, and so many opportunities to get involved within the various boards
I could go on and on. I really do love my program, more than I ever thought. The classmates are great, the faculty are great, the courses inspire me and the atmosphere is so what I need in life right now. It's a course on helping others, but helping myself too. Learning about mindfulness and the power of self-care first. It's an awesome program, and I wish I could share it with people.
I'm so glad I stuck it out and made it here. So glad.
