What is your favorite aspect of college life?
“The community aspect because you really get to know the people you live with and those you share multiple classes with.”
Would you say most of your learning comes from inside or outside of the classroom?
“I would say outside especially when you are helping others try to learn the material or using the knowledge you’ve gained from the classroom.”
What new interest or courses of study have you discovered at college?
“I have enjoyed history and theology courses while attending Walsh University.”
In what ways has the college experience changed/improved you?
“It has molded me into a more well-rounded person, and I have friends from all different backgrounds.”
What advice would you give an incoming college freshman?
“Don’t schedule 8 AM classes, and don’t wait until the last minute to study for exams.”
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Cole!
