How do you feel about dorm living? It was an awesome experience freshman year, but I definitely need more CLOSET SPACE!
List some career goals: Become a CEO-doesn’t matter what kind of company!
Ensure a retirement fund and invest lots of money. Find my place in the workforce and be excited to wake up every morning to go to work.

What do you feel you get from your education at JWU and your major? A tremendous social network. I wouldn’t give up the network I’ve made in Denver for anything. It gives me opportunities I would never be able to have anywhere else (job opportunities, volunteer opportunities, parties, events, fundraisers, etc.).
Why JWU? Upside-down curriculum. Small class sizes and enrollment. Atmosphere and environment of campus. I just got that feeling that I belonged there and still do, which is crucial to choosing the right school!
