Back Home

I came back home this week and couldn’t be happier. When I say home, of course, I mean Coe. Sometimes my parents get upset with me when I leave their house and say I’m going home to Coe, because this is what I call home now. Every semester I come back I feel more and more comfortable. The relationships I have with my classmates, friends, professors and staff here grow and develop with every day I’m here. The brochures you get no doubt talk about our community, and I’m sure your admissions consoler is going to give you the same story about how close we are, and what kind of community we have. If you are like I was, you are probably skeptical. That skepticism is justified, because it sounds like a good talking point to get you to come to school here. But I hope you believe me when I tell you that it is not just a talking point or a convenient phrase to entice you to come to school here. Because there are students like me who live in that community every day, and truly make Coe their new home.
