Why Boston College?

“Boston College feels like home to me.

The campus is absolutely beautiful.”

Why Colorado College? 

“I chose Colorado College because of its location in Colorado Springs and direct access to the mountains. It’s a small liberal arts school and they go by a block plan so you take one class at a time for 3 1/2 weeks so you can really get a hands-on experience in the classroom.”

What are you most excited about?

I’m especially excited to meet new people and experience the outdoors all year round as well as taking creative and interesting classes that allow me to grow throughout my time there.”

Why Marquette?

When I first visited Marquette, I drove around with my mom and I fell in love with the campus. I was looking for a school near a city, and Marquette is in Milwaukee. Also, Marquette has an accelerated 6 year law program compared to the traditional 7 year route. Also, I wanted to be close to home.
