Why they chose Tumbleberry
I toured six schools. Here, my tour guide stopped to introduce me to her chemistry professor, and he remembered my name at Bear Camp three months later.
I wanted a campus where the mountains were part of the classroom. My First-Year Trail Seminar met at the Evergreen Field Station every other Friday.
My aid package made Tumbleberry cheaper than my in-state option. The simulation lab in Bramble Health Center sealed it.
