Describe your college experience

Coming into such a big University and such a different environment I was quite nervous at first but I quickly learned that it was easy to adapt to such a friendly and community-centered culture.

Tip for future students

Don’t worry too much about choosing the right Major the first time, you can always switch your first year. Keep in mind what time the classes you choose are at, don’t commit to a class you know you won’t attend.

Favorite class

U.S. History has been my favorite class so far because of my professors. My professors were both so passionate about what they were teaching it was easy and entertaining to learn what I needed.

Career goals

I plan to do a Graduate degree abroad.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Either at home, or out seeing my friends somewhere comfortable.

High school or secondary school
