What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission? After being at two other schools before Lawrence the decision was absolute.
Who is your favorite professor (and their department) at LU? Why? Professor Chang-French Department. he is the most ambitious and encouraging professor I've ever had. Having her as a prof makes me strive to do my absolute best.
What is the best course (and its department) that you have taken? Why? The Modern World (History). This course was all-encompassing of world history.
What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”? The diversity of the people. Here everyone brings something different to campus.
What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here? Only 1/3 of the students are from Wisconsin, thus a very heterogeneous campus.
What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian? The quality of individualized learning.

 

  
Which is your favorite resident hall? Why? Sage: large, loud, and central to campus.
What do you find most exciting about the new Campus Center? Not much, the building is too imposing and all-encompassing. I wish campus was more spread out, offering services in various places. I was a much bigger fan of Memorial Union.
What is your favorite study spot on campus? Sage basement.
What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton? Triapsing College Avenue.

If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Reese's, peanut butter and chocolate, need I say more?
What is an uncommon hobby you have? Why do you like it? Studying French grammar. Boring to most I know, but I find it so wonderful learning a different language.
What was your favorite theme party thrown this year at LU, and what did you dress as? Halloween everywhere across campus. I went as an aristocrat complete with a top hat, cane, and white gloves.
