He finds his courses understandable and enjoyable. “A lot of my courses, specifically for sociology and philosophy, I am thinking a lot more than I had previously in high school. The subject matter we tackle is thought provoking and has expanded the way I think about the world. The professors are excellent. They all seem to be understanding.”

Even though Aiden commutes to campus he spends a lot of time on campus. “The friendships I have formed through clubs and classes have encouraged me to stick around. There are a lot of great people in the area. I have met a lot of like-minded people that I have had genuine relationships with within a short period of time.”

Aiden has joined the Rainbow Union and the Paranormal Investigation Club on campus. “They both have been good communities to get involved in. I have had an excellent time and it has allowed me to adjust to college life more.”

Currently Aiden aspires to have a career in psychology and art therapy and his current path has him excited for what comes next. “Alfred State has opened a lot of opportunities for me especially to further chase my goals.”
