"The Sacred Heart College, for me, has always been a home away from home. Leaving home and travelling to Kerala to pursue my studies seemed a daunting task for me. However, these two years at this wonderful college have been a blessing. Here, I formed many irreplaceable relationships and bonds with my classmates and professors. The whole college in itself is a family. I take away an invaluable lifelong lesson of humility, respect and empathy from the campus. I like the fact that the classes here are interactive and thoughtful, established on the framework of critical thinking. The support provided by the college to students like me has been exceptional. I am also heavily indebted to the college for the assistance provided to me during the 2020 pandemic. For me, the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom for a better society has always been my ultimate goal. After two years, I leave Sacred Heart College not just as a graduate, but as a better human being."
