Describe your college experience

My transition from high school to college ended up being seamless. Moving out of my home to my dorm seemed daunting at first but overtime I got used to it. I have loved my experience in college from the classes offewred, to the friends I have made here, and also the nice environment that the school sets up.

Tip for future students

My advice for future students would be to start studying early and do not wait until the last minute for assignments. Also, for some classes don't assume if you know a topic from high school, that it will be the taught or learned the same way,

Favorite class

I'm in the honors college and my favorite class was an honors class where we had discussions about the political culture wars. I loved this class because it was discussion based and also through these discussions, I was able to see issued through a lens I would have never thought of had I not taken this class

Career goals

I am hoping to get a masters in the field of Artificial Intelligence while also supporting myself financially in a full time job in this field. I also hope to continue my education in this field so I can stay up to date with the latest trends.

Ideal way to spend a free night

If you have a lot of school work, spend the night doing that. If you don't have a lot, take a walk or hang around parts of campus outside of your dorm like going to different organizations. Or watch different movies or Tv shows.
