Why did you choose #my草榴社区? 鈥淒uring my undergrad search I came to Accepted Students Day and met one of the professors and the way he talked about psychology and teaching it really made me want to do psychology as my major. It also made me want to come here because it seemed as though all the faculty had the same kind of mentality of helping you understand and just learn about the different areas of psychology.鈥
