Letter "S" » Sarah Nie Quotes
«Mary Baldwin was a good transition experience to university [life], I think. We had a special orientation for us PEG students. And we had to take courses in math and history and such to make up for what we missed in high school.»

«Courses such as physics, which I hadn't taken before coming here, was of course challenging. Other students had taken it in high school, so I had to work harder to grasp the material which was all new to me. But, overall, I look at classes in terms of your learning ability. Your learning ability is your learning ability. Most of the material in college courses is new to everyone, so they are in the same situation as me.»

«Professors and most of the people here don't know about it. It is not publicized or anything. My age only comes up occasionally. If the person doesn't know me, they feel threatened perhaps. But once they get to know me and become my friend, it doesn't enter their minds anymore.»
