Junah Castil, Class of 2022

I ended up being really happy that I chose Maryville. It’s online, and the price was comparable to all the surrounding universities, so it ended up being a good choice. Online learning is everything I expected it to be. It was so flexible with my work and family life that it’s just been a fairly smooth sail.
