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

The feeling of a tight-knit community of students and staff where I could be myself and have a unique college experience.

Who is your favorite professor at LU?

Professor Peregrin in the Anthropology department is my favorite professor thus far because he has an impressive amount of research and field experience, which makes for engaging anecdotes and discussions.

What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?

Calling LU my home.

 

 

Which is your favorite resident hall?

GLOW House, because the members of the house are like a second family.

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

Union Grill!

Where is your favorite study spot?

It does not matter where as long as it is outside where I can enjoy the weather.

 

 

If you were a fruit, which would you be?

I would be a persimmon because they take a long growing season to ripen, just like I take a while to get to know. They also taste like honey, which is something awesome to taste like.

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

I would be a deep color of red almost like blood but it would be called Marinara because it reflects my sauciness.

What was your favorite theme party thrown this year at LU, and what did you dress as?

The Not-Exactly Naked party was by far the best. My costume consisted of a “CAUTION: WATCH FOR TRAFFIC” sign and a license plate held up by suspenders and topped off with a clear plastic top hat.
