"The healthy living learning community didn't just teach me how to stay fit and eat right, it taught me how to live all aspects of my life, the physical, emotional and social parts, in a healthier way. The lessons on stress management helped me out so much as a freshman. When those stressful moments came, I utilized the lessons learning to help get me through it. "
