Overall experience

Here is the place where I'm becoming the person I didn't even know I wanted to be

So far, GSA has been lovely: there is a feeling of support for innovation and freedom and discover, encouragement of exploration, reflection and potential mistakes that makes me feel bold and spread my sight in directions I wouldn't have found without it. While I understand independence, willingness to ask for things and self reliance are given qualities a GSA student has to have, I wish tutors were more present in course work and there were more skill-based mandatory work and not just opportunities. Again, however GSA is whatever you make of it. Everything is there - skilled tutors, workshops of every kind that can be used if you sign up for an induction, contemporary technology and always encouragement. Also - I adore the library.
