Describe your college experience

I had some friends from high school that also enrolled with me, so the transition wasn't too jarring. It seems daunting at first, but there's just so many people here. I've met great people in classes, at the gym, and even just out and about

Tip for future students

Put your academics first -- freshman year matters more than you think. A healthy mind needs a healthy body. Go to office hours! They are there for a reason!

Favorite class

MATH 450 - Mathematical Modeling Professor was great, I learned a lot of interesting things, and picked up a lot of useful skills.
