The NCSF has empowered me to diversify my studies at UCONN, enabling me to explore a range of academic disciplines from neuroscience to real estate. At UCONN, I've absorbed a diverse range of academic concepts and translated them into tangible skills, enhancing my ability to navigate and succeed in real-life situations.
