Why did you chose Colby-Sawyer?
My Basketball coach at my previous school was an alumni of Colby-Sawyer and encouraged me to apply. I wanted to study in the United States because it is a change in environment and the country is very passionate about sports. Colby-Sawyer also has small classes, enabling a closer relationship between students and professors.
Who is your favorite professor?
My favorite professor is Doctor Medbery because he has a great sense of humor and makes an effort to make the classes and labs more interesting.
What activities have you been involved in?
I am a member of the Varsity Basketball & Tennis team and also have competed in the intramural soccer tournament. I stay fairly busy training.
What is your favorite event on campus?
My favorite event on campus is Alumni Weekend because it's a great opportunity to see the success of past Colby-Sawyer students.
What has been the most challenging aspect of college?
I would say my biggest challenge so far is being able to adapt to the increased level of detail that is required by your professors to successfully complete assignments.
What is your favorite place to visit in town?
Subway, mainly because of their chocolate cookies.
