The pressure of temporary life in college weighs heavily on senior Belle Bao as she steps onto the campus, but quickly dissipates as the sole sound of her steps on the cobbled floors becomes surer.

I felt like someone who’d never watched “Cinderella” finding themselves in a room full of Disney adults. Thankfully, the friendliness of the staff — instructor Ken Lin and his assistant, Evan Vanderlinde — and the rest of the students quickly made me feel at ease. We started off...
