Going global locally, part 2

One great thing about studying at SNU is what happens on other campuses. Let's face it. SNU is a small school. There's nothing wrong with being a small school. By being the size we are, we can offer students much more personalized guidance and instruction. I tell prospective students that if they want to have large classes where they can hide and not be noticed by the profs, they should choose some other school. At SNU, you're going to be noticed by the profs and they are going to take an interest in you. (Some students might even say a little too much interest.) However, although SNU offers a lot, it cannot offer as much variety as larger schools can. That's where going global locally comes into play. Some really interesting things happen at campuses within easy reach of SNU and our students get to take advantage of those happenings. For instance, this Friday, February 13, the University of Oklahoma is sponsoring a half-day symposium on Cuba. It's an easy drive from SNU to OU, so students can go down Friday morning (get there early enough to take advantage of the continental breakfast) and then be back on campus by early Friday afternoon. You get to have your cake (small schol advantages) and eat it too (access to events sponsored by larger schools). In other words, you can go global locally due to SNU's great location.
