    I like Judson University's moral code because it creates a peaceful environment. This is my first year at JudsonU and so far it's a bit refreshing walking into the big glass doors to the school. The curriculum is put together in a way that Judson isn't just school it's an experience. And the staff/ faculty members are very friendly. When I need someone to talk too they are always willing to give an ear and I do not think they understand exactly how helpful they are to me. I have not eaten any food at JudsonU's cafeteria but there is a Subway here and the environment is really clean.
    After my small time with Judson, I have come to realize how amazing the atmosphere truly is. The people are very close knit and the support is spectacular. For people who love this environment I would highly recommend Judson university.
