Kate: I really enjoy the resources on CCS’s campus.
Zofia: I wish I wasn’t so intimidated by critiques coming to CCS.
Wren: How valuable connections are.
Alex: Student Activity Board puts on a lot of cool events and there’s like cool bike culture in Detroit and music festivals and art shows going on.
Kate: For instance, there’s so many resources for health, wellness, education, just kind of knowing about and learning about those was a big help for me to adjust when I came here as a freshman until now.
Zofia: Classrooms are really supportive environments and everyone just wants to see your success and they want to help you grow as a creative so all of the feedback is really helpful to consider and to apply to your work.
Wren: No matter what issues you’re having or things you want to learn more about or no matter what’s going on you’ll always have support, not only from professors but also your fellow students as well.
