What would be your advice to prospective students about the college search?

Really think about the things you enjoy in life or the paths you would like to explore going forward in your future. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed in the college search process and knowing that you have these ideas of your interests will help you in determining where your best fit will be. You may not know exactly what you want to major in, or what to study, but you can at least have a baseline of wants and desires that you’re looking for in a school. 

Why should students attend Southwestern?

Southwestern became my home away from home. The smaller campus size allowed me to really bond with my peers and professors in a way that I never got the chance to, coming from such a large High School. The education that you receive here is very one-on-one and offers opportunities for the individual that are not always offered at larger schools. The faculty and staff genuinely care about each student on campus and that made learning and living here a very rewarding experience.

What is your favorite get-to-know-you question, and what would your answer be?

Would you rather be in the water with an alligator/crocodile or a shark? A whale or a shark? My answer is always shark. I like asking this one because it is pretty interesting to hear everyone’s reasoning for their answer. You can learn a lot about someone from silly random questions like those.
