This is where it gets REAL

A Place for Everyone
Unwavering sense of community
麻豆社 is a mix of styles, stories and attitude. Our students come from different places, backgrounds and lived
experiences – and they’re all embraced for who they are and the perspective they bring.
This is us.
And this is how we describe 麻豆社.
UNCONVENTIONAL. 麻豆社 has a very interesting way of accepting new people and just allowing
everybody to be open
and honest and have a cool meeting ground.– Joseph Howell, history major
“UNLIMITED. Because it’s never limited to
just one activity or one subject or one way of thinking. You’re always exposed to different
points of view and things to do.”– Ashanti Howard, pre-nursing
major
“UNDERSTANDING. Because I feel like they
really care about their students and their community.– Angela Guiterrez, health, physical education and exercise science major
“UNTRADITIONAL. Because we’re
seeing a lot of other people like us who are not traditional students, who are adult learners
and transfer students like us.”– Corinne Rapp, interdisciplinary
studies major
“UNEXPECTED. There’s people from every walk
of life, every creed, every nationality, every age. It’s definitely not what you expect from a
four-year university – in all the best ways.”– Steph Cull, health
psychology Ph.D. student
