“I came to Kirkwood without even visiting. I had heard from others what it was all about, but now that I’m here, I’m so glad I get to experience it for myself. The spaces and facilities are only part of what makes Kirkwood great. It’s also the people I’ve met since getting involved in campus groups.”
