What is your favorite local restaurant?
Shady’s Burgers! It’s only 5 minutes away from campus, and they have tasty burgers, non-burgers, and milkshakes that you can enjoy out on the patio while listening to live music.
How did your college experience help shape who you are?
I owe everything to my college experience, from lifelong friendships and amazing opportunities to my accomplishments. College shaped who and where I am today. The late nights, early mornings, and in-between times taught me that anything is possible with hard work, kindness, and determination.
What advice do you have for students beginning their college search?
Visit, visit, visit! As you start your college search, feeling overwhelmed with many options is expected. Taking a (or many) campus tour(s) can help you narrow your choices and determine which school will be the perfect fit for you. It’s a great way to see what a school offers, preview your life there, and experience how the campus connects with you. Find a school where you can learn, work, eat, and play. Your home away from home!
