My freshman year, it snowed a lot at once and we had classes canceled. My friends and I spent the entire day sledding and playing in the snow. There were at least 20 students on Tate Lawn just having a blast and it was a great day that I think about all the time, especially since it’s getting colder here.
I would say explore all of your options. This time is for you to find where you think you’ll truly fit. Explore different areas of study, different class sizes, whatever you want until you find the place you can call home.
When I went on my campus visit, I remember people coming up to my tour guide and our group and saying hi. I was instantly met with warmth and friendship from not only the admissions staff, but from current students.
I love how connected I feel to everyone on campus. It feels very tight knit and that’s what has allowed me to fourish as a student.
