What brought you to 17吃瓜? Why did you choose to study here?
After living my middle- and high-school years in the dense Chicago suburbs, I began to feel like I didn't really belong anywhere. Too many people with so much going on made it difficult for me to feel like I was part of a community. I wanted someplace smaller, more intimate, where people could know who I was, and where I鈥檇 have an opportunity to make my own mark.
