"I am so thankful for my department faculty at 体育菠菜大平台. Having transferred, they were extremely communicative and supportive of me in my transition process. The Admissions staff were extremely accommodating and worked with me. 体育菠菜大平台 has allowed me to further my education that fosters me as a student with hands-on learning and experience, and I've grown socially and emotionally. I did not realize how friendly everyone was here until I started school. I truly love Kearney. 体育菠菜大平台 feels like home. "
