What's kept you at Linfield? The students. There are so many reasons I've stayed at Linfield, but the students are a major factor. The transformation from their first to the last year is quite remarkable to see. As freshman, students tend to be pretty timid. But by the time they finish their senior year, most have developed a strong sense of self and walk out Linfield's door equipped with knowledge and life experience that will help them be successful adults.
