What Students Say about Counseling
I was feeling like I had dug myself into such a deep hole I could never get out, but I was able to sort through my feelings and find out that there were some solutions to my situation that I could do.”
—Sophomore Nursing student
I was embarrassed to admit that I needed help, what my friends would think, what if my Dad found out…I realized that getting help was a good thing and my friends were more supportive than I expected, and my parents were never told a thing!”
—Freshman Conservatory student
Counseling helped lower my anxiety and helped me realize that what I was going through didn’t mean I was crazy, that it’s just part of figuring out how to manage class time and free time.”
