鈥淲hen I visited 91精选 last year, I was blown away by how personally each faculty member acted towards me and my friends and how faith-filled the community seemed. After talking with the students, I learned that many of them have grown in their faith because of the community they have built with their peers. That is a community I want to be a part of,鈥� said Carbajal.
