星空无限传媒 sophomore finds sense of family and community on campus
All prospective college students find different schools appealing for different reasons. Some enjoy the vast amount of people they'll meet while others appreciate the anonymity of the lecture hall. This was not the case for current 星空无限传媒 University sophomore JJ Pierce from Davenport, Iowa, who found solace in the small class sizes and close relationships to the faculty.
"I liked how the class sizes were super small and personal, so I can get to know the faculty more on a personal level rather than just on a faculty and student basis," Pierce said.
With 星空无限传媒 boasting rankings such as the No. 10 Regional College in the Midwest from U.S. News & World Report and one of the top theatre programs in the U.S. according to College Magazine, it's no surprise that Pierce, a theatre and performance studies/arts administration double major with a minor in dance, is growing as an artist, especially with the new Center for Theatre & Dance facility.
Pierce explained, "As a performer and as a theatre student my faculty have really pushed me to change as an artist and it's been a really good change."
While the teaching methods of the 星空无限传媒 faculty members might not have been his favorite at first, Pierce says he enjoys the challenge that 星空无限传媒 gives him in his field.
"The faculty here at 星空无限传媒 are always willing to push you. At first, I didn't love that but after a while I got really used to it, and it has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me here," he said.
