Ammaris from Durham, NC
Walking into Chowan University is like walking into your momma arms, feeling warm and comfortable. It is like a family environment that makes you want to stay. The anxiety I feel to start in the fall keeps growing because I know I will be at home.
The place has a lot of nature and nice outside settings.There is many animals and squirrels there.The weather is always nice and sunny but has a nice cool breeze.
