Describe your college experience

My college experience has been pretty interesting so far. I really enjoy the environment, as it is beautiful and a great place to grow. I am currently in the works of changing my major to something I enjoy a bit more. Even with this tough transition, the people and support at VT have been amazing throughout this process.

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to go to office hours, it is a great way to get help from the professor or teacher​/​graduate students!! Going to events around campus, especially within the first week is a great way to meet other students before building a workload in your classes.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Dance History, an elective course I learned a lot about and truly enjoyed completing the assignments.

Career goals

Not sure yet!

Ideal way to spend a free night

An ideal way for me to spend a free night would be to go to the gym and probably watch a movie​/​show with a friend.
