Why you came to Troy: I chose TROY because of the size, location, and people. I like the fact that that I could wake in the morning and head right to class; I don’t have to rush and drive to campus and then ride around for 20 minutes in search of a parking spot. Troy is a very interesting place to live. Moving from a big city to a smaller one is a cool experience. It is really cool to see how different people from smaller towns find fun things to do when there seems like there is nothing at all to do. TROY is also central to everything in the city of Troy; nothing is too far. I also like the people at TROY. From the Chancellor to the professors to the students, everyone here is cool and personable. If I have to ask a question the faculty and staff are easily accessible. The teachers are also very friendly and receptive to their students as compared to teachers of much larger universities.

You’ll quickly learn that life is not about what others think about you, it’s all about you doing what God has called you to do. While at TROY, remember to school is your first priority and then everything else. When you feel like you have nowhere else to turn, remember: “Fear not; for I am with you. Be not dismayed; for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.” –Isaiah 41:10
