Why did you choose Eastern?

I chose Eastern because of the liberal arts curriculum the school offers and because that would give me a more well-rounded education all together. I was also a big fan of the small class sizes which would give me an opportunity to meet new people and get to know my professors.

What do you enjoy doing outside of class?

Outside of class, I like to make time to hang out with my friends or find a calm place on campus to relax and decompress. I also like to keep myself busy by watching movies and TV shows with my roommate.

Advice you would give to a high school senior about the admissions process:

As important as it is to do well in your classes and make time for studying and homework, it is equally as important to make the most out of your college experience so that you can thoroughly enjoy it while you’re there. Make sure to make friends everywhere you go and to get involved in whatever way makes you the most comfortable.
