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

The main aspect about LU that sealed the deal for me was the strong international community and focus on the campus.

What one thing would you say is “The Lawrence Difference”?

I would say “The Lawrence Difference” is the infinite resources and opportunities available to all students for whatever it is they might want to do.

What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here?

I found out that they call the top of Main Hall “the nipple of knowledge” because of its shape.

What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian?

I love being a part of a community that is small enough so I am known and recognized rather than just being a number assigned to me.

 

 

Which is your favorite resident hall?

My favorite resident hall is Hiett Hall because it is the newest of all the residence halls and the suites have their own bathroom and really NICE furniture!

What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year?

A coffeemaker. It has become my best friend.

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

Union Grill because the food tastes AMAZING!

 

 

If you were a fruit, which would you be?

I would be a lemon because it looks like a typical citrus fruit however upon tasting it you are wildly caught off-guard which is a common response of people once they get to know me.

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

I sometimes brew coffee in the mornings even when I don’t plan on drinking any just because I LOVE how coffee smells.

What is something LU helped you learn about yourself?

LU has taught me that I can survive on my out with no parental support in my immediate surroundings which is such a great thing to know!
