"Being a part of Connect2Biz not only helped surround me with business students but also helped me develop strong relationships with many of them! As a nervous first-year college student, I don't think I would've had as good of a transition if it wasn't for living in the Connect2Biz LLC."

"Being part of Connect2Biz introduced me to students who share my goals. Having a like-minded group of people around gave me people to study with, bounce ideas off, and even network with for future opportunities. It also helped me grow as a student and gain a clearer vision of what I want for my future."
