When I am not in class I like to: Hang out with my friends, family, and boyfriend and to be doing something all the time! I love to be busy. There’s never a dull moment. And I can always be counted on to have a camera in hand—I love to take pictures and to capture memories; it’s one of my favorite things to do!
Something that surprised me about McDaniel: It surprised me that McDaniel has such a diverse, yet unified system of clubs and organizations. Without the variety that McDaniel offers, my college experience would definitely have been much less exciting.
What I love about McDaniel: I love that McDaniel is such a small, close-knit community. It has been everything that I’ve ever wanted in a college experience…and more…seriously. I have made friends that I know will last long after college is over; and I have really enjoyed my years here…which is the most important part!
Why I decided to come to McDaniel: I decided to come to McDaniel mainly because of its generous financial aid, and also because of the location. I live a short 20 minutes from McDaniel, so attending McDaniel College has given me the freedom to be on my own, but also the flexibility of visiting home whenever I want.
