Coming to Webster was indisputably the best choice and opportunity in my life. I came lost – knowing only that my interests lay in Psychology. The Psych Department gave me freedom and opportunity to pursue my passions. Thus, the best thing happened to me – preparation met opportunity. I was prepared to devote myself to hard work and I got the opportunity to have the best research mentor and a perfectly equipped laboratory, but this was not all. The great research culture at Webster allowed me to join the ‘research family’ here and do high-level experimentation as early as a bachelor’s level. Thus, I have come to realize that Webster is much more than a university, Webster is a family, Webster is the way to success.
