“I would say that my favorite thing to do on campus is being in the lab. I have the chance to conduct my own independent research project on surgical staphylococcus aureus infection proliferation and this was not possible in my home country. Every time I get to the lab, I feel a bit closer to my dream of becoming a surgeon. I also love being in the cafeteria and the Cougar Den. I could stay hours there without even eating because it’s more a playground than a cafeteria. We all meet up there and everybody just has a good time, we all switch tables, debate, discuss, laugh, laugh and laugh”.

“I chose Caldwell University because it granted me the opportunity to pursue my dream of studying biology while engaging in the sport I love, basketball. Moreover, having grown up influenced by the Catholic tradition, I very much appreciated the fact that Caldwell is a Catholic institution. My favorite moment at Caldwell thus far was the first time I stepped on campus! I instantly recognized just how welcoming and helpful the faculty and student body are. Since then, I have established friendships and bonds which have truly changed my life. One of the things I enjoy the most about Caldwell is the presence of diversity on campus. International students come from all over the world. I learn so much about different cultures, values, and ways of thinking through the presence of so many ethnic groups.”

“I choose Caldwell University because of its small size and also because of the great scholarship I was offered. One of my best memories at Caldwell was when I was chosen to attend the World Youth Forum in Egypt. Friendliness, knowing almost everyone, playing indoor soccer, and playing with my band “clueless” are some of the things I enjoy the most about this place.”
Keesy Marcano
Class of 2023, Business Administration
Without a doubt, my favorite Caldwell moment has been participating on the Caldwell Service Day, where I was able to serve and give back to the community. In this activity, I had the amazing opportunity to be part of a tradition that highlights the university’s values.
What I enjoy the most is that the community lets you know that you matter and they make you part of the family from day one. Also, there are so many ways to get involved in campus and stay active thanks to the many clubs and organizations that there exist.

“I love Caldwell for many reasons, but what I appreciate most about it are the opportunities for various experiences and the sense of community it creates. The environment is welcoming and inclusive.” “There are a few that stick out as my favorite Caldwell moments so far. The top event on my list is unquestionably Global Thanksgiving. This event is special since it was put on by the Office of International Student Services and the International Students Organization. Students from different countries are brought together to share their cultures through food, dances, and other activities. It serves as a nice reminder of home for us as international students and gives us the chance to share our traditions with others.”

“I expect to learn the value of learning and living with the differences we have with people coming from other backgrounds and perspectives. I hope from my time at Caldwell I gain the valuable experience of embracing diversity and using that to get the most out of myself and others around me.”

I learned about Caldwell in a very unexpected way and I could never be thankful enough for making this place my home away from home for the last two years. My sister once heard about Caldwell from her boss and advised me to apply for the school. Without any expectation, I looked it up and immediately fell in love with the liberal arts environment that Caldwell had to offer: the small class sizes with great student/faculty ratio, the priority on community services, the friendly town that is within walking distance

“I adore how intimate (in its size) the university is. It facilitates networking. I like how willing everyone is to assist in any way they can. Given how diverse the institution is, Caldwell would be able to assist me navigate unfamiliar social settings and cultures. In addition, I hope to learn more about my field of study and build relationships with like-minded people. It has been a learning experience since I came here. I have learn how to manage my time effectively and communicate better with people.”

“My flag-raising ceremony and winning the C-Pin award are among my favorite moments at Caldwell. I was the first one from Mauritius, a small island on the east coast of South Africa. It was a matter of great pride to represent my country and introduce my culture to my classmates. The C-Pin award is usually awarded to an exemplary Caldwell University student. Receiving this award during my freshman year strengthened my belief that Caldwell University had everything to make me thrive academically, socially, spiritually and intellectually.”

“What I love most about Caldwell University are the professors and staff. I have experienced a tremendous amount of growth from the time I left home (Ghana) to the states. The majority of this is due to the incredible professors at Caldwell who dedicated their time and effort to nurturing me. They believed in my potential and provided their maximum support to help me succeed in not just my classes but also outside of Caldwell. In addition to being professors, they were mentors, advisers, and parents who guided me on the right path and right decision for the bright future I sought. I am and will forever be grateful to them.”

“I love being here as part of the diverse community they have, which helps me to understand different people’s cultures and interests. Caldwell celebrates many cultural events based on different countries which are very interesting. Finally, the classes are small, which allows you to get to know your professors and them to get to know you as a person.”

“My favorite spot on Caldwell University’s campus is the red room. Everyone who’s been in there understands why it’s called that (everything is red). There I get to meet up with my friends to hang out and study. It’s also a great place for commuters like myself because it’s a place where you can be in between classes.”

“The Caldwell community accepted me and helped me flourish in my academic, professional and personal life. The most beneficial thing for me is the opportunity that I have received being a student. I deeply value the bonds I share with the faculty, staff and students.”
