“Support” sometimes just means simple words of encouragement, but I received something much more than that. LAU was a real community; the classes were small, the professors were very attentive to students, and the labs were excellent. There I felt safe, I felt secure … At the time, there was a lot of political tension in the country that periodically erupted into bloody fights, but despite all of that, the school remained a community and people respected one another. Whatever remaining legs the country is standing on, it’s thanks to people who went to campuses like that and had those sorts of experiences.
