What was the final factor that made you say "yes" to LU's offer of admission?

I was completely sold by the conservatory. Lawrence offers such an amazing program and really gives its students the proper training to be successful in any music field.

What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?

I love that I know such a large percentage of the student body. The student population at Lawrence is really like a small community, and everyone works together to make it a great place to live.

 

 

Which is your favorite resident hall?

Trever and Sage are my favorite resident halls because the majority of my friends and I lived in those two buildings this past year, and they hold lots of great memories of my first year of college.

Downer, Lucy’s, or Union Grill, and Downer dining room A, B, or C?

I like Lucy’s the best because the food, in my opinion, is the best of all three places, and the environment is usually a little less rowdy and a little cozier. Lucy’s is a great place for mealtime conversation. Out of the three Downer rooms, my favorite is A because you’re most likely to run into people you haven’t seen in a while.

Where is your favorite study spot?

I study best in my own room, and I really enjoy having a small group of people come over to study with me. That way everyone understands that studying is the main priority, but there is still the comfort of company.

 

 

If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would you be?

If I were a color, I would be sizzling pink (a very bright pink) because I have a very crazy and fun personality, but I’m still nice and sweet like the color pink!

If you could only eat one type of candy bar for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

I could easily spend the rest of my life only eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Chocolate and peanut butter together is my favorite combination of flavors.

What is an uncommon hobby you have, and why do you like it?

I was a competitive figure skater for 13 years before coming to Lawrence. I love skating because it’s extremely hard work, but it’s all worth it to watch yourself improve.
