20 Reasons Students Are Glad They Went to AIU
At this time of year, as many of us pause to reflect on our gifts and our gratitude, it seemed a fitting time to ask our Facebook community to share the reasons why they're thankful for their education. The messages we received back were motivating and inspiring, heartwarming and encouraging. They spoke to gaining knowledge and improving skills, of course, but they also talked of opening doors, bettering lives, finding opportunities and turning dreams into reality.
We've pulled out 20 of our favorite responses below to share their thoughts. (If you're interested in reading all of the insightful comments from our students and alumni, you can find them here.)
