Colleges like Smith

NOT University of Puget Sound. Initially, UPS seemed a good fit. The first few weeks we had a lot of support and the welcoming team was great. Unfortunately, during my first Seattle winter, I went into a deep depression and stopped working as usual and gradually going to a lot of classes. No one really reached out or noticed. I am much more mature now, but didn’t recognize at the time I was suffering from depression and wish I had had more support. My parents were not contacted about an ER visit for some passive suicidal thinking. The worst thing about this school - a medical leave for late withdrawal to help my GPA was not granted after 2 years of requests. I transferred schools after 2 years and am much happier. Although a while ago, I feel I should share this with people deciding on schools. Good luck to everyone!
