University of the West

So I applied to a bunch of different schools.

Um, many of them actually were particularly Buddhist studies schools, um, you know, Institute of Buddhist Studies, University of the West, Naropa, uh, Maitreya.

Um, and HDS was the only one that was sort of, uh, non-denominational and that had more of a focus outside of the scope of Buddhist studies.

Um, and so I was sort of intrigued by that, again, especially coming from not a religious background.
