It’s like the professors know you personally. I feel very comfortable with a lot of the psychology professors. I’m in the psychology suite all the time. They’re like family. I always know I can go up there and just ask any questions, get help with grad school stuff, anything. And I think that’s a really comforting fact of IU Kokomo.
