One student soon learned what a difference it makes when you interact with a professor that is genuinely there to support you.

College is a stressful period for any students looking to get a higher education. It’s not all about partying and joining fraternities. A lot of college is just a bunch of studying and writing papers.
19. Single Moms
While regular students have it rough enough throughout college, single mom’s especially have to work hard to make it through. Dealing with exams and the stress of raising a child all on their own is incredible difficult. Those were the difficulties one student was facing…
