    Student Perspective

    Hayley Childers, a senior from Prosser, Washington, came to Carroll after comparing it to another private school she was considering in Washington State.  Though the sticker prices of the two colleges initially looked similar, with Carroll's generous scholarships and work-study offerings, there was no comparison.

    "Carroll was cheaper and the Financial Aid Department was so much nicer." she says.  Hayley works as a PE Center monitor on the weekends sells tickets at games and works Saints Soccer.

    Hayley wants to be an x-ray technician and is working on a business degree.  Her class load is a mix of challenging pre-nursing, pre-med and business offerings, in addition to CORE requirements.  She notes that her Carroll math class is about the same size as those at her hometown Prosser High School, and the small class size is a real plus.

    "I like the small classes at Carroll.  I feel I get more for my money than I would at another university." Hayley says.
