National Inventors Hall of Fame is a place that specializes in it's students. Since the student body size is very small at the moment, you are paid more attention too and have a chance to feel like an individual. There is still much to accomplish and much to grow from but, in my three years of being there I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.
