What makes Winthrop Special?
Winthrop is special to me because of the growth opportunities they have for students,
faculty, and staff. It's a family-like campus and everyone is so helpful to one another.
What advice do you have for students thinking about choosing Winthrop?
Take a tour of all the colleges you have in mind. Pick a university that will help
you discover your true self and support you during and after college. I would also
recommend connecting with current students who can give you some insight about their
journey. Attend virtual sessions that the university may offer as well to answer any
of your questions.
