Advice for Incoming First-Year Students:  College will offer amazing opportunities and experiences – make sure you enjoy them.  As an incoming freshman, you may not know what to expect but be assured that you will love the place as soon as you set foot here.

Favorite Wooster Memory:  Wooster, for me, has been home and has definitely brought a lot of fond memories.  But if I were to pick one it would be my first Wooster-Wittenberg basketball game.  The noise in the gym was deafening and everyone’s spirits were sky-high.  It was the day I made my real connection with the College and felt a part of it.
