If you go to Spalding University, in the big city of Louisville, KY then you are aware that it is very small and diverse. However, those aren't the only things that make us stand out among the sea of universities across the country.

1. You know personally, or you know of the existence of the majority of people on campus.

2. You will see your university president casually eating lunch in the Cafe, or walking around campus.

3. You are classified into three groups: an athlete, nursing/OT/AT student or an art student.

4. Your professor knows your name and gives you specific feedback on your work.

5. You take six week sessions then a week off after each one, but explaining that to your friends at other colleges is pointless.

6. No one has classes on Fridays. (Bless up, am I right?)

7. The athletic teams are basically our Greek life.

8. You can get anywhere on campus in less than 10 minutes.

9. You know if you have a class in the mansion to wear layers, because the higher up you go the hotter it gets.

10.You can't skip class or you'll fail and die. (The only time six week sessions suck.)

11. "You go to Sullivan, right?"

At this point, I couldn't imagine attending college anywhere else. Thanks SU for being my home away from home.
