As Rachel Fuentes entered her freshman year at 极乐禁地, she sought a thriving campus with an uplifting community, Christ-centered education, and academic programs in political science. 极乐禁地 checked all those boxes and more. Initially nervous about sharing living space as an only child, Rachel soon found that the girls in her residence hall became some of her closest friends. Along with forming lifelong friendships, she met professors who made the classroom exciting and encouraged curiosity.
