Hello everyone! I'm Shobana, a recent commerce graduate from Stella Maris College in Chennai. Over the past three years, I've had a truly transformative experience at Stella Maris, and I'm here to share it with you from my heart.
Stella Maris is not just a college; it's a dream come true for many, including me. The college's reputation precedes it, not just in Chennai but even in Kerala. What makes Stella stand out is its commitment to empowering women from all sections of society. During my time here, I've witnessed numerous programs designed to uplift and empower women, and these have left a lasting impact on me. If you know me well, you'd notice the positive changes this college has brought into my life.
One of the things I'm most grateful for is the scholarship I received. Stella Maris offers several scholarships to students who might otherwise struggle to afford college, making quality education accessible to everyone. The college also provides incredible support for students aspiring to study abroad, through collaborations with organizations like IDP.
Campus placements are another area where Stella excels. I'm proud to say that I was selected by Wells Fargo, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our placement officers who worked tirelessly to prepare us and ensured that we place in top companies.
Life at Stella isn't just about academics. The college offers a vibrant campus life with numerous cultural events and clubs. Whether it's the final year tours, inter-departmental events, or the much-anticipated college fests, there's always something happening. And if you're a foodie like me, you'll love the canteens on campus-especially the Kema Dosai!
In my final year, the college offered lighter subjects, which made it easier for us to focus on our future careers. The balance between quantitative and qualitative subjects helped me manage my GPA, and I deeply appreciate the guidance of my lecturers, who were always there for us.
Stella Maris has given me so much more than just an education; it has given me confidence, opportunities, and memories that I will cherish forever. I'm proud to be a Stella Maris alumna, and I hope my story resonates with many of you.
