Student Profiles

Andres Fernandez '11

"I think the technology was something that sold me immediately. The trading room is very impressive and also all of the wireless technology all over campus. The library is great - it's a resource you will always use. The help desk and information desk, the ESOL desk - they're here to help you. The trading room is very impressive. Everyone who wants to study business likes the banking and finance area. To be able to go and practice hands on - there are stocks to trade - that offers an opportunity you won't get anywhere else."
