Advice for Incoming First-Year Students: No matter where you come from and how good or bad your high school experience had been, focus on the fact that you all are honorable Wooster Students from now on.  College is a place that is quite different from high school and you will be treated as adults with high expectations, though your parents are financially supporting you.  Try to be open-minded and be prepared to pursue a liberal arts education to become a well-rounded person.

Favorite Wooster Memory:  Winning the intramural soccer tournament was an amazing memory (I was so happy that I could participate and do something for my team to win the tournament).  Playing the piano at the International Culture Show was another unforgettable memory in my freshman year and I think I became a little bit braver.  (That was the first time in my life that I stood alone on the stage in front of hundreds of perspectives.)
