What has been your favorite class?

One of my favorite classes so far was the “What is Philosophy?” course. I took it to fulfill one of my general education requirements, and honestly, at first, was not looking forward to it very much. I didn’t have any interest in learning about Aristotle or Socrates. However, I ended up getting so much more out of this class than I could have ever expected. It taught me so much about thinking critically and I believe it made me a better student. I built a great student-teacher relationship with Dr. Nethery, who taught the class. He helped me with some questions I had in declaring my major. (I came in undecided.) I think this class not only taught me more about philosophy and critical thinking, but also about utilizing every resource available at Florida Southern, especially the professors!

What is your favorite FSC memory?

Ultimately, what’s on paper can only go so far. FSC is amazing; it has great guarantees like graduating in four years, being able to study abroad, and more. What really matters, though, is the people who you share these wonderful experiences with during the four years that you go through college. My favorite FSC memory is running down the hill on bid day to my wonderful sorority sisters. I gained so many lifelong friends that day and I am so lucky to be able to make memories with each one of them. I think joining something, whether it is a club, sports team, fraternity, etc., is the best thing anyone can do when they go to college. Finding people with the same values and interests to share your time with can be such a rewarding experience.

Why Florida Southern?

During my college visits as a sophomore and junior in high school, I searched for a place that not only looked good on paper, but also felt like home. I found that at Florida Southern College. The people I met during my visits were all so kind and welcoming, and I felt like I had found my home away from home. Scholars Weekend really sealed the deal for me. I could see myself making memories with the people I met. I can’t wait for another great year at Florida Southern.
