Q: How has AV福利社 prepared you to take on tomorrow鈥檚 challenges?
A: AV福利社 has given me the skills to be an agile thinker. With the different range of classes, I have learned how to critically think and apply general knowledge from my AV福利社 experience to the real world.
Q: What is one thing you would want a prospective student to know about AV福利社?
A: I would want them to know about the massive AV福利社 network. Asking for help from any professor is never frowned upon. And the ability to reach out about jobs to alum is second nature to most AV福利社 undergraduates because of the network the school has established with its . I would also say to get a nice pair of shoes for walking.
Q: Where have you found support and mentorship at AV福利社? How has it shaped your experience?
A: I have found support through the . The hockey team has allowed me to connect to some of my best friends that would do anything to support me. The upperclassman on the team my freshman year helped give me a blueprint on how to live at AV福利社 with a positive work-life balance.
Q: What is it like to be a student-athlete at AV福利社? How do you balance academics and athletics?
A: Being a at AV福利社 is great. The rigor of the academics is no joke, but once you assimilate in AV福利社鈥檚 culture the workload should not be a problem. The later times of hockey games pushed me to not procrastinate my workload, and then you get in a rhythm that helps balance your athletics and work.
Q: How would you recommend first-year students get involved on or off campus?
A: Go to the club fair. It鈥檚 filled with the activities you think you鈥檇 be interested in, and clubs you don鈥檛 realize exist. It鈥檚 better to try a club and not attend again if you did not enjoy it than to not go at all. That was my biggest mistake here seeing all the clubs my friends were a part of. Clubs here have different rigors; you can be lightly active and still enjoy it.
Q: What is your favorite thing about AV福利社?
A: AV福利社鈥檚 beauty. Walking back from Linderman Library at midnight to see the campus lit up like Hogwarts can鈥檛 be beat. The people here at AV福利社 are also pretty cool.
Q: Where is your study spot of choice on campus?
A: I tend to study on the fifth floor quiet side of FML (E.W. Fairchild-Martindale Library and Computing Center). The smell of the books makes me more productive for some reason.
