Most Memorable College Experience:

Some of my favorite memories include intramural ultimate frisbee; movie nights at the house with my six roommates; spring break road trips; clowning at the local children's hospitals; and making smores in the cafeteria microwave.

Favorite Marquette Activity:

Watching the sunset from Presque Isle Park. You won’t see a sunset like that in Illinois! Don’t forget to bring the Border Grill food for munchies as you watch the sunset.

Discover your passion for life and follow it. So many opportunities await you in college; don't be afraid to try something new.
