| What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission? | I had a lot of fun looking at Lawrence's social media like their website and Facebook because they really captured the uniqueness that sets apart Lawrence from other small, liberal arts schools. What really pushed me to say yes was visiting. There's just something you feel upon visiting campus that makes you say 'I want to go here.' |
| Who is your favorite professor (and their department) at LU? Why? | In my short time at Lawrence I would have to say taking art with Professor Rinehart. It was a really good entry into the art world without being pretentious or judgmental. |
| What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why? | I really love Freshman Studies because firstly, I've accumulated a nice little beginnings of a book collection, and secondly because it's just a really interesting forum of discussion on a very wide array of topics. Sometimes it get's a little heated but it's really fun to engage in debate with your peers. |
| What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”? | The people. There are many very intriguing people here. For such a small student body, it really packs the personality. |
| What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here? | The Center for Teaching and Learning accepts walk-ins. Especially helpful for those times where you're going crazy over an essay. |
| What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian? | Feeling so comfortable and at home even though I'm so far away from my 'real' home. |
|
|
| Which is your favorite resident hall? Why? | I am an Ormsbian so Ormsby of course but Trever is always good for some shenanigans. |
| What is your fondest memory of your roommate from freshman year? | Coming home from class one day and seeing that she had actually cleaned. |
| What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year? | Really thick wool socks. |
| What do you find most exciting aout the new Campus Center? | Kate's Corner. |
| What is your favorite study spot on campus? | Somerset or Ormsby Lounge |
| What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton? | Getting breakfast on College Avenue on the weekends. |
|
|
| If you were a fruit, which would you be? Why? | I think I'm most like a coconut maybe because I love coconut but also because they look like they have fun just chilling up in the tree in warm places. |
| If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would be you? Why? | I think I would be Power Walk Pink because I power walk everywhere during the frigid winter and pink because I get a little rosy in the cold. |
| If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose? | I would probably eat yogurt-covered pretzels from Kate's Corner. |
| What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it? | I guess an uncommon 'hobby' I have is doing laundry. It's not really a hobby but I really like doing it. |
| What was your favorite theme party thrown this year at LU, and what did you dress as? | So far my favorite costumed party was Halloween and I went as Minnie Mouse. |
| What is something LU helped you learn about yourself? | I think that being a part of the Lawrence student body has made me realize how important having supportive people around you is. There's so many ways to build a 'family' around yourself here and it becomes a really important thing to be able to depend on one another. |
