What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission?: My overnight visit. After sitting in on classes, meeting with professors, and hanging out with current students, I knew that Lawrence would be a good fit for me and would help me achieve my goal of becoming a doctor.
Who is your favorite professor (and their department) at LU? Why?: Professor Maravolo of the Biology Department is my favorite professor because he takes the time to get to know his students on a personal level. He has always been there for me and has been instrumental in my success here at Lawrence.
What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why?: My favorite course at Lawrence so far has been Vegetation of Wisconsin with Professor Maravolo in the Biology Department. I had a lot of fun with the class and really enjoyed the "hands on" approach we took through our various field trips.
What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?: My favorite part about being a Lawrentian is being a member of the Track and Field team. I've never been a part of such a fun, tight-knit group and have made lasting friendships that I will always cherish.
Which is your favorite resident hall? Why?: Hiett, you just can't beat that view of the river, all the space, and air conditioning!
What is your fondest memory of your roommate from freshman year?: Him raining 3's in intramural basketball.
What is your favorite study spot on campus?: The Hiett 1st floor meeting room, it's like an extension of my room.
What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton?: Take a run along the river.
If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why?: Packer's gold, it's my favorite color.
If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose?: Butterfly gummies from the campus center, gelatinous nectar of the gods!
What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it?: Watching horribly bad movies with my friends, they're hilarious!
What is something LU helped you learn about yourself?: I do much better when I study with a friend, it helps both of us fill in the gaps of our own knowledge.
