ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳

"I never thought of myself as a really independent person, but I feel like college really allows you to explore that."

"There are so many different interests and parts of yourself you’ll find at ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ that you don't even know exist yet."

"My college search wasn’t only about where I would get the most playing time or which team I liked the most—a lot of my decision was about the fact that I really liked ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ as a school, I really liked the people here, and I wanted to be here whether or not I was playing soccer."

"At ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳, there’s never a question if a student is capable of something—it’s assumed that they are."

"Enjoy the process of exploring and growing, it will only give you more clarity and more chances to discover what you really love learning!"

"The best thing you can do is allow yourself to explore and try as many new things as possible and then run with what feels the most exciting."

"While we can sit and spend hours on these topics in the classroom, nothing can top being out in the field and seeing how geology from millions to billions of years ago is represented in the modern world."

"Even if you think you know exactly what you want to do in the future, be open to a variety of different paths."

"On the second day of my visit, I remember huffing and puffing up the steps from the gym and happily thinking 'I can see myself doing this for the next four years.'"

"To make my final decision, I ended up talking to current students about their experiences, and their honesty and enthusiasm about ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ made me excited to become a student here."

"Art is one of my passions, as is art education, and ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ helped me with the first step in that career."

"What’s special about this fellowship is that I got to create it and there is a large focus on ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳’s history, specifically on students of color, diversity, and how that’s looked throughout time."
