What do you like most/enjoy most about SLU? My favorite part of SLU is the people. There is such a wide range of personalities that come from all different backgrounds. While we are a rural campus, I feel like I get to access all different corners of the world through the students. 

Why should every student take a CBL course during their time at SLU? Every student should take a CBL course because it is such a unique experience that allows students to apply in class learning to real life experiences. Additionally, connecting to the local community is immensely important to fully experience all that SLU has to offer.
