"My best friend from high school, Yiwei, got an offer from Colby-Sawyer and decided to go. So I asked her why, and then she told me something I still remember after nearly 10 years, "I think I could really learn in a liberal art environment, instead of having parties all the time in a big university. I know that would be so much fun, but it is just not for me." By the time I saw the pictures of Windy Hill online, I knew that was where I should go. My advice for future international students: when you think you can't make this, hang in there for a little bit more time. And my favorite food: ice cream!"
