I had been homeschooled most of my life. So, when I began at Chatfield, I had some doubt as to whether or not I was truly ready for this experience. I was mostly concerned that a classroom environment was something I was no longer accustomed to as a student. Chatfield showed me that I was, indeed, ready. My professors helped me to enjoy the classroom experience, instead of dreading it.

Attending college and working full time while raising a family wasn’t easy. But, Chatfield is not your typical college. It’s more than a learning environment; it’s a place of spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. Although Chatfield presented me with many challenges – and, it wasn’t easy – it was all worthwhile.
