| What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission? | Visiting campus - it's a beautiful place to study filled with amazing people. |
| Who is your favorite professor (and their department) at LU? Why? | Professor Peterson - because we talk about his cats and their veterinary appointments. |
| What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why? | Fundamentals of Movement - because it was unconventional, everyone felt like an idiot and it was my favorite part of each week my first term freshmen year. |
| What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”? | To quote the pamphlets: our Individualized Learning; you have the responsibility of shaping and completing your education and you want to and our professors are more than happy to help you do that. |
| What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here? | Trimesters are pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. |
| What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian? | Having fellow students challenge you to articulate and reevaluate your beliefs from a different perspective. |
|

| If you were a fruit, which would you be? Why? | A banana - because bananas with peanut butter is the best thing anyone could possibly eat (...I don't think I answered the question correctly...) |
| If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why? | Banana Yellow - see fruit question. (I'm really terrible at these sorts of questions). |
| If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose? | a HEATH bar...because it's one letter away from 'health'... |
| What is something LU helped you learn about yourself? | I've learned to take advantage of my education rather than just completing it. |
