Favorite Place on Campus

The Math Zone!!! This is where I made all my closest friends. A lot of students taking a math class here just stay late and hang out. It is also next to the gorgeous courtyard where you can eat lunch and admire the beauty of this corner of campus. ‘The Courtyard’ also has live music and karaoke nights sometimes.

Advice I wish someone had shared with me when choosing a college or considering to transfer

Reach out to those departments and organizations you may want to be a part of. You can get so much information by a simple conversation. Then choose the all-around package that makes you the happiest! Most importantly, do not let others determine what is best for you. Trust your gut, and you will end up right where you are supposed to be.
