Why did you choose Puget Sound? 

I choose puget sound for a mixture of the nature in the surrounding area, and a recommendation from a teacher in high school who pointed out the advantages of a lower student-teacher ratio offered at places like Puget Sound.

What has been your favorite class so far?

IPE 321 The Business of Alleviating Poverty: NGOs, Corporations, and Social Entrepreneurs

What has been your experience of faculty?

Wonderful, everyone has been incredibly accommodating and seemingly very invested in my own learning. Even the professors in my 101 classes dealing with a relatively larger class size still were incredibly accommodating to questions even outside of class while being evidently passionate about class subjects. There also are many small instances where the faculty take time to just get to know their students as people, which is aways nice. 

What has been your experience of campus life?

Campus life has been quite and peaceful. There definitely is a sense of school spirt surrounding sports and extracurricular activities. Spending hours walking everywhere did take getting used to, but the surrounding neighborhoods are all pleasant places to walk and the nature is a beautiful spectacle. Both Seward and Trimble Hall have provided a sense of community, [especially] with those in the rooms surrounding my own, where I've formed connections that have lasted since the start of freshmen year.
