- My name is Nichrissa Wiggs.
I attended Southwest Los Angeles Community College.
I now attend Dillard University majoring in psychology.
Seeing the struggles that my mom went through
while growing up I felt the need to attend college.
I found that it was important to attend college
to further my education.
That's why I decided to attend Southwest College and transfer
to Dillard University.
I decided to transfer to Dillard because I wanted
a different experience.
I wanted to get out of my comfort zone
and into a new environment.
Some of the advantages of attending Dillard University
is we're very supportive here.
The staff, the faculty, we have a family-oriented environment,
and the resources are unlimited.
When I decided I wanted to attend a school outside
of California I told my mom and she was in shock.
It was very difficult and an emotional decision,
but once the acceptance letter came it was a reality
that I was going to be leaving out of state.
Even though my mom was having a hard time letting me go
she supported my decision 100% and it's the best decision
I made to attend Dillard University.
