my experience in IUE as a psychology major
Because of the pandemic, I wasn't able to go to the campus, but they still provided me with a good education online. The best thing about my department is I think the resources, especially for students who are in the research field. The lab and all the pieces of equipment we had made me able to work with VR in my thesis.
