Call to Action Background
Taysa Conger

If you’re at a two-year college or another school wondering if transferring is worth it, let me tell you, coming to Carroll College was one of the best leaps I’ve ever taken. I started at Northeastern Junior College in Colorado, loving volleyball and studying business, but I wasn’t sure what was next until Coach Moe from Carroll called about an opportunity. Moving 800 miles from home felt crazy, but from the moment I got here, the tight-knit community, small classes, and incredible people made it feel right. Plus, did I mention mountains and castles? And even though the money side felt intimidating, Lara Thomas and the financial aid team helped make it all possible. Whether it’s the professors who’ve pushed me to shine, the friends I’ve made, or opportunities like playing volleyball and working in the financial aid office, Carroll has given me room to grow in ways I couldn’t imagine. It’s not just a school; it’s a place that challenges you, supports you, and helps you find your path. So, if you’re on the fence, take the chance on Carroll. It might just be the game-changer you’ve been looking for!
