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

The prospect of working both in music and in academics, and that both programs were equally strong. When I visited, I was especially impressed by the professors—both their skill and their personalities.

Who is your favorite professor at LU?

Julie McQuinn in the Music History department, because she’s incredibly smart and incredibly fun at the same time.

What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?

As a Lawrentian, I know the tremendous value of the education I’m receiving and of the relationships I’m building with other students and with faculty. That’s my favorite thing about being a Lawrentian.

 

 

Which is your favorite resident hall?

I love Hiett because of the view and because of the roomy, bright rooms.

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

Lucy’s. The view and I think the food is generally better. Plus they bus the tables for you!

What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton?

I love to just go to Barnes and Noble and browse the books.

 

 

If you were a fruit, which would you be?

Persimmon, because it’s got a cool name.

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

I would be a weird murky green. And I would probably call it Spinach Sputum or something like that.

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

Nutrageous, because they’re delicious, of course.
