“I’m so happy to be here in the MSD program. I love software development because we can use our imagination to create programs that do amazing things and make life easier. The age we live in is all about technological innovations and it’s awesome to be part of this. I would tell potential students that if they choose MSD, it will be the best decision they ever made. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who doesn’t have a computer background because they can gain a master’s degree in 12 months and be the person the job market is seeking.”
“I loved it here right away. Everyone was so friendly and helpful with finding my dorm and my room. On my first day, I met 5 students and within 5 or 10 minutes we became friends and have remained best friends to this day. I also love the healthy food and peaceful environment.”
“What I like is the environment, because it’s a green and peaceful area with a diverse community. I like that we don’t have to worry about paying rent or cooking meals, so we can focus on our classes. It’s important that the campus is COVID-free. We are careful to wear masks on campus and in the classroom, and we were all tested when we arrived.”
“The first thing I noticed is that Fairfield, especially the MIU campus, is very quiet and peaceful. Dallas is a big, busy city with a large population, but Fairfield is small. Small is beautiful. I like that I can have some alone time, where I am not disturbed at all.”
