Describe your college experience
While transitioning to college life was initially tough, I've definitely developed a close group of friends and found my place here, both socially and academically.
Tip for future students
I highly recommend you physically visit the campus! The small school atmosphere is pretty unique and you get to know the people around you rather quickly.
Favorite class
Philosophical Questions (PHIL 111) with Professor Shah. He structured the class around some philosophical ideas that alarmed or surprised him, so it was very thought-provoking.
Career goals

Watching a scary and/or bad movie with my friends
