**1. What first drew you to [Baylor University](http://www.baylor.edu/)?**

What first drew me to Baylor was that they offered me a full tuition scholarship, otherwise I never would have visited campus.  However, I’m glad I did because Baylor is an amazing school with tons of incredible opportunities!

**2. What other colleges were you considering?**

I was basically down to schools that were going to give me substantial scholarships, so Nebraska, University of Oklahoma, and Texas A&M were also in the mix.

**3. How was the adjustment from high school to college?**

The adjustment from high school to college isn’t as daunting as people make it out to be.  A lot of college level coursework is much more interesting than high school, so class is a lot more fun.

**4. What was your favorite class? Why?**

My favorite class was “Alexander and the Diadecoi” because I love history and this class relied solely on primary sources and rigorous application of classical historical study methods.

**5. What clubs or groups were you involved in?**

I was involved in Student Government, Model UN, the Baylor Marksman’s Association, and Brooks College.

**6. Anything else you want to tell us?**

I’m really glad that I chose Baylor because Baylor emphasizes a traditional liberal arts education, and that’s actually pretty rare these days.

**7. In one sentence, what do you love about your school?**

I love Baylor because it was the perfect place for me.
