What is your favorite aspect of college life?
“My favorite aspect of college is the community surrounding it. Your friends and the people around you really become your family and college transforms into a home away from home instead of just a place to learn.”
What new interest or courses of study have you discovered at college?
“I have become more interested in the variety of agriculture in different parts of the country and world and am excited to explore that further.”
In what ways has the college experience changed/improved you?
“The college experience has made me a more independent person as well as more organized. I enjoy the responsibility and freedom to make my own schedule and take on new roles.”
What advice would you give an incoming college freshman?
“Communication is key, whether that be with professors, staff, or other students. If you communicate well, everything will go much smoother.”
What is one item on your bucket list?
“One item on my bucket list is to get my pilot’s license. I think this would give me the ability to travel more frequently.”
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Brynn!
