MY HURON EXPERIENCE At Huron, I get the benefits of a small-class setting, but I can also have a big lecture experience across the street at Western. Everyone here is so brilliant and welcoming. The professors are experts in their fields and that s really important to me. I email my professors constantly and they get back to me quickly with feedback. They re always there and they want to help. The best part of Huron is knowing you have so many options. WHERE DO OUR GRADS GO?
