Why I Chose Stetson:

I chose Stetson due to its welcoming atmosphere, small class sizes allowing to build relationships with your classmates and professors, and its close proximity to home!

Involvements on Campus:

Student Ambassador, Resident Assistant, Social Media Production Committee for Residential Living & Learning, Tri-Alpha, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Baking Club, Pre-Vet Club, and Latinx Student Union 

What I Like to Do on Weekends:

I love spending time with my family on campus or by visiting back at home as I am very family-oriented! I also enjoy relaxing in my room while watching videos, coloring, or playing video games to de-stress from classes.

My Favorite Class at Stetson:

Biology 141 with Professor Dye. While the classwork might have been a lot, Professor Dye did an amazing job in not making us memorize the material but actually understand and apply what we learned in the lecture. As of now, this is the only class that if I hear something relating to it in my other classes it makes me so excited as I remember most of the material even if I learned it two years ago!

Advice to Prospective Students:

When in doubt, reach out to your professors! They are a great resource to help you out with any topics you might be confused about. It is also great to build a relationship with them as you can get any recommendation letters if needed as well as get opportunities like studying in a lab!

Favorite Place on Campus:

One of my favorite places on campus is the library as it has so many resources that might be unknown to students. The library has tutoring, an innovation lab, printing, a writing center, study rooms, quiet areas, technology you can rent out, etc. The library also holds various events during the year, personally my favorite is the therapy dogs which visit Stetson every month!
