When I moved here, I was really happy with my choice because I can strike a balance between academics and social life. It really strengthens my cultural understanding and I can connect with the people on the floor.

From my personal experience as the president of the Civic Leaders Living Learning Center, I understand the immense role residential learning communities serve in fostering leadership development and building understanding amongst students of different backgrounds. I hope that the APATC will create an environment for other students to do the same.
