Favorite place to grab a cup of coffee near campus: Anchorhead is my go-to spot!
Favorite place on campus: I love hanging out at the Quad because of the Centennial Fountain.

My advice for students in the admissions process: College is a huge commitment, so it's important to reflect on your "why" for pursuing higher education and your major of study. Talking to your supporters and folx who are/were students at your ideal college can also help you with this important decision!
