Justin Carlson, Paving His Path To Success in Chicago

“I think something that is unique about going to DePaul and studying business, especially in such a big city like Chicago, is you’re really able to gain a sense of independence that you might not be able to gain at a state school or a public school or something like that. Going to school in the amazing city of Chicago, you’re really integrated with the city and real business people. You really have to find your own identity and really be comfortable with who you are because there are so many different people, so many different personalities. The diversity is so high in the city that you have to kind of have that independence and security in yourself to thrive and pave your own path to success.” — Justin Carlson, Freshman at DePaul University
