Describe your college experience

I love it here at the College of Charleston. Before this past fall, I went to school in Florida, I was worried about classes and making new friends. Even though I transferred I was easily able to find people I fit in with, all the students and teachers are very welcoming.

Tip for future students

Teachers are here to help you, office hours are important. Joining clubs and orginizations might seem scary but it's a great way to meet new people.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Religion and Philosophy of ancient greece and india because even though its not apart of my major its a super fun and intresting class.

Career goals

I hope to find a job in the entertainment industry. Before I go into the corporate world, I plan on joining the Peace Corps somewhere in South America, where I can use my Spanish and help people.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I enjoy spending time with friends. I love to go out on Kingstreet, but I also enjoy a quiet night at home. My friends and I love doing art projects together and I also enjoy reading books.

Previous college

I transferred from Eckerd college, it was a pretty smooth transition. College of charleston was good about transferring all my credits and the campus is easy to get around. There's tons of people that are always happy to help if you need it.
