"I chose the Mount not only because it was close to home and in a beautiful area, but because I knew I’d benefit from small class sizes and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with professors who genuinely cared about my learning and success."

Graham Preston, C’24
Hometown: Frankford, DE | Majors: Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, French and Mathematics

"The study abroad trips to Tours, France to study French, and to Morocco to study French and Arabic were two very meaningful experiences that I will never forget. I met so many amazing people on these trips and created memories I will never forget.
