The best advice

“Be Honest.” is the best piece of advice I’ve ever been given. I received this advice from my father. I think that it is the most efficient and direct way when we communicate.

The best spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is UREC where I frequently play with my kids. We go to UREC for swimming in the indoor pool and the River, running on the indoor track, and playing air hockey. UREC is one of the best University Recreation facilities I have ever seen. 

Something I wish first-year students knew

Ask! We are here to help you. Living on campus and taking various courses as a 1st-year student can be challenging. When you are curious or have questions, don’t be afraid of asking. Even if the answers are beyond your expectations, you will learn new or different things.
