Why did you decide to attend Nazareth College?
“I wanted something new; I needed to get out of Maryland. I had lived there all my life and I was ready to have a fresh start, so I thought 400 miles away would be good for me. When I got to Nazareth’s campus for the first time I loved the more gothic look of the buildings, it was different than what I had seen previously. All the other colleges I had looked at all looked the same they had no character it just looked like a school. I also really enjoyed the tunnel system because I didn’t want to walk outside in the freezing New York winters.”
What has been your favorite memory while you have been at Nazareth?
“Last spring my friends and I climbed a tree in the lawn in front of Smyth. It made me realize there is more to campus than what you think, you just need to get out of your room and explore what Nazareth and Rochester has to offer.”
