Favorite Place on Campus:ÌýLake Mary Nell
Best ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Highlight:ÌýMy favorite ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ memory from my freshman year was definitely big/little week. My big would decorate my room everyday and would give me nice treats like my favorite snacks and drinks. She would also give me really nice notes and made a funny instagram about me featuring all the worst/funniest photos of me. I felt very loved and excited for big/little reveal when I finally found out who my big was after a week of her spoiling me. I felt so much happiness when the curtain went down and I saw who she was and now she is one of my closest friends.
Favorite Restaurant on Campus:Ìý²Ñ²¹²µ±ð°ù°ì²õ
Favorite Thing to Do in the Area:ÌýI like to go out to dinner or get brunch with my friends.

I chose to go to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ because I loved the campus and it was a perfect size (not too big not too small). I also wanted to go to school in the South because it was faraway from home, the Northeast and Midwest were too cold for me and the South is gorgeous. Another reason chose to go to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ was because of their amazing study abroad program, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ being No. 1 in undergraduate teaching, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ having a high quality of life and having that one-on-one professor-student relationships.

Best ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Highlight:ÌýMy favorite memory at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ happened my first week of freshman year. I had just moved into my new dorm and only really knew my roommate. One evening we heard people playing music, and it turns out they were playing just dance. Everyone on my floor came and we all danced, talked and laughed. From that moment on my floor got very close, and I will always cherish those relationships I built during that first week.
Favorite Restaurant in the Area:ÌýMykonos and The Root
Favorite Thing to Do in the Area:I love to go get custard at Andy’s with my friends!

I decided to attend ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ because of the smaller student population size, and it has great resources in the exercise science department, which is beneficial to my major. In high school, I valued having good relationships with my teachers and wanted to continue that in college. Once I arrived at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, I realized that our student population is a perfect size. On my walks to class, I see four of my friends, yet I am still meeting new people on the daily.

Favorite Place on Campus: Lake Verona
Best ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Highlight:ÌýMy most favorite ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ memory so far was probably at the end of my freshman year, and it was a warm night but just the right amount of cool air. My friends and I went to sit around the fire pit in East and listened to music and reminisced about our first year, how much we had accomplished and how sad we were to be leaving, even though we would be back together in just a few short months.
Favorite Restaurant in the Area:ÌýTaaza Bistro, Mikes Deli’s and Tangent
Favorite Thing to in the Area:ÌýFind new river spots/easy hiking trails.

One of the reasons I chose to attend ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ was because the moment I stepped onto campus I was welcomed by friendly people that genuinely seemed excited for me to be visiting their school. The people I met on my tour were excited to talk about ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and proud to call themselves ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students. I visited during my spring break senior year after I was accepted into ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. Once we visited it was clear that this was the place for me –– project-based classes, a beautiful campus and smaller class sizes with professors who genuinely wanted you to come to their office hours, learn and just talk about life.
