Elizabeth, Psychology ‘24“Regis wasn't originally on my radar, but when I came, I absolutely fell in love with the campus. To me, it always felt like home — especially when I interacted with the faculty. They brought me into the university and the culture on campus and it just felt like a smooth transition from an out-of-state student, to easily just go into college.”
