“I attended a small high school, so I was nervous about college and how much time it would take to adjust. Kirkwood has made it so easy for many reasons. I live in the Kirkwood Village Apartment Complex, in a four-bedroom apartment, and I knew none of my roommates before college started. Now, they are some of my best friends.”
