For me personally having CommUNITY Lab has helped me so much with moving to college and being a way from family. When I have a problem or an issue, I can always count on CommUNITY Lab to help me even if that is just someone to talk to or to get advice or them giving us resources and people that can help us with something on campus. My point is that CommUNITY Lab is more than people to help me when I’m struggling, it's my family and friends that I can count on just like they can count on me.

CommUNITY Lab’s meaning to me lies within the name itself, it's a community.

There have also been bonds with other students that I have developed because of community lab. I personally appreciate the support on all levels academically and personally from Todd and Amanda.
