“The student teacher relationship in this school is not very formal, it’s more like, ‘hey you can approach me anytime you want with whatever it is you need to.” There’s no rigid barrier, which is really important, especially at a graduate level when you’re struggling with so many other things. Another thing is that there is sort of a freedom in this school in terms of pushing boundaries, there aren’t just certain boundaries that are being imposed. Also, because the setting is Albuquerque, life is sort of laid back, so it’s more comfortable. These are the first things that come to my mind.”
