How did you first hear about your school, and what made you apply?
“My dad went to Indiana and there have always been little ‘IU’ symbols around my house. It wasn’t until I was about 14 and I asked my dad what the ‘IU’ stood for and he told me it was his college. I never had any interest in the school and after seeing photos I specifically told my dad I “wasn’t going to go to the same school he did.” After I visited IU to see my brother, I knew I wanted to go.”
What are you most excited about?
“I am most excited about all the new people there. It’s a huge school so it’s a great opportunity to make new friends! And of course, I am very excited for IU game days.”
