Advice for new students: College is full of new friends, opportunities, and challenges. Your character is defined by how you interact with these components.

Favorite TV show: Community

Favorite thing about Webster: The students and faculty are incredibly friendly and personal. It’s an experience you wouldn’t get anywhere else.

Advice to new students: Time management. With so much free time it’s easy to procrastinate or over-involve yourself. Both of these are equally bad, and the first thing to learn is that homework always comes first.
